BlueStacks, the PC and Mac software, that allows users to run Android apps on their computers has reached 5 million “organic” installs, which include only installs through the company’s website. That’s not a minor figure considering that we’re talking about a niche product, not every users necessarily needs.
However, we’re willing to bet that’s just a start with BlueStacks also announcing distribution deals with ASUS and AMD that will see the software pre-installed on 100 million devices shipped this year.
And that’s not all – BlueStacks is apparently preparing a version of its solution that will sing along Windows RT devices. We don’t have the timeline yet, but I would have to guess this software could end up in Windows Marketplace in couple of weeks. Not that we have any inside information — it’s just that it can’t be that hard to port an existing software from Windows 7 to Windows 8. I’m sure Microsoft will want to make this as seamless as possible…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
