Android On Your PC: Qualcomm Invests In BlueStacks After Beta Sees 1M Downloads In 10 Days

New BlueStacks LogoIf you're an Android and a PC, you should check out BlueStacks --- before hackers catch on or Chrome sneaks in this functionality, take advantage. The startup's software has been going like hotcakes over the last few months, as it's offering a much-needed service for Android and PC users, having developed software that allows Android users to run their apps on all Windows PCs, tablets, and laptops without any modifications. Thanks to this appealing concept, BlueStacks lured $7.6 million in venture funding pre-launch, $6.4 million more a few months later, and now it seems the yet another investor is on board.The startup finally released its public beta on March 27th, and so far users have been eating it up. In the first 10 days after its release, BlueStacks' App Player racked up more than 1 million downloads, with over 12 million apps collectively being run by its users. It's on the heels of this early traction that the company is today announcing that global telecom giant Qualcomm has joined as an investor.
