The Daily App: BlueStacks Cloud Connect

Today's Daily App is special not just because of what it does on the Android, but for what it allows users to do on their computers. BlueStacks Cloud Connect provides a cloud-based conduit between an Android device and a Windows laptop or desktop for transfer of Android apps to run on the big screen.

That's right. All those Android apps can now run full-screen or in a window on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 with lots of space for Angry Birds and lots of wrist-room to take a Pulse of world news (videos).

Called the Best Software of 2012 at CES and receiver of a Best App Ever Award for 2012, Cloud Connect works with BlueStacks' App Player, which runs apps designed for the ARM processor to run on x86-based PCs. Cloud Connect makes quick, painless and cable-free work of automatically transferring any apps to or from a PC to Android device for execution on either platform with accelerated graphics.
