The apps now can be purchased for specific devices at the point of sale using Best Buy's in-store digital Mobile Genie system. Additionally, Handango's In-HandT client, custom branded for Best Buy, will be downloaded directly onto each device so customers can continue to purchase apps with Handango and Best Buy even after they leave the store.

"Handango's deal with Best Buy is groundbreaking for the smartphone apps marketplace marking the first time these apps will be made available for purchase right at the point-of-sale across Best Buy stores," states Bill Stone, CEO Handango.

In addition, select Best Buy outlets will be offering their customers a selection of Mobile App Packs featuring three favorite game titles for Windows Mobile, Blackberry and Palm devices.
