Handango Now Selling Smartphone Apps at Best Buy Stores
By Dean • Dec 16th, 2008 • Category: UncategorizedHandango, the smartphone app retail distributor has recently teamed up with Best Buy to sell apps for Windows Mobile, Blackberry, Palm, and Symbian S60 handsets. The apps are available via Best Buy’s in-store Mobile Genie. While downloading the app at the store the Handango’s In-HandT client will also get installed to enable outside the store downloads in the future. Best Buy is also planning to bundle “Mobile App Packs” that offer game titles for Windows Mobile, Blackberry, and Palm handsets.
Nowadays more and more people own a quality smartphone that can handle a variety of exciting apps, but they don’t have a trusted platform to access these apps. This really isn’t quite necessary for Apple iPhone 3G users who have Apple’s own app store for downloading apps, but for other handsets its really quite useful. The partnership of Handango and Best Buy was very much necessary in order to give smartphone lovers the ability to customise their handsets the way they want and get the most of their digital entertainment. This will definitely enhance the experience the users get while working on their smartphones.
According to Scott Moore, Best Buy VP, “With the onrush of exciting new smartphones hitting the marketplace, Best Buy couldn’t have chosen a better partner than Handango to provide the most expansive choice of top applications so our customers can walk out the door with these devices working and personalized for their lifestyle.”
