Console OS, Android emulator on a Windows Tablet or PC [kickstarter]

Console OS let you run Android Apps on your Windows Phone Tablet or Windows PC. With Console OS, you can use Android on your device as a secondary operating system or on its own completely. It should play nice with touchscreens, and mouse and keyboard setups alike, and the developers vow that their software should work on a variety of new devices, like the Dell Venue 8 Pro and the Lenovo Miix 2.

Console OS was designed to natively operate on Intel’s x86 format, and should perform better than any Android emulators or virtual environments.



There are some questions, however, regarding real-world performance of Console OS. There haven’t been any hands-on demos of the software in action. Also, the lag-time for switching between operating systems might be an issue, even though the Console team says that it should take about 10 seconds for the switch to take place.


Console isn’t available yet, but if this sounds like something that’s up your alley, a $10 donation to its Kickstarter campaign will get you a Pro version of the software, which gives you the ability to switch between OS’ more quickly, and free upgrades forever. If you shell out some more money, then you’ll even get to help elect which devices the team will develop support for.
