Have you wanted to install Google Play Store apps on the nabi 2 Tablet?  Well duh, of course you have!  While Fuhu continues to work with Google to become certified and have the ability to provide the Google Play Store and Google Apps, this should hopefully stem the tide.

If you have another Android device with Google Play Store, then you should be sideloading apps using either the AirDroid or Google Drive methods.

If you do not have another Android device, then up until now you've been unfortunately out of luck.  I've been searching for an Android emulator for a few months now, but nothing that I’ve come across was simple enough to promote to everyone.  That is until I came back to BlueStacks, after abandoning it as an option, about a year ago.  Upon installing BlueStacks this time, I stumbled upon a hidden and undisclosed feature -  access to the Android Market, aka Google Play Store.

BlueStacks App Player emulates a Samsung Galaxy S II smartphone running Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread) and can be installed on PCs running Windows XP, Vista, 7 or 8 and Macs running OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard), 10.7 (Lion) or 10.8 (Mountain Lion).

Following my written instructions or Fan-a-Tech Robyn's video will allow you to install the BlueStacks App Player on your PC or Mac, gain access to Google Play Store and then sideload apps onto the nabi 2 Tablet.
