Handango has long been one of the biggest online retailers for software for PDAs and phones. They offer apps for Windows Mobile, Blackberry, Palm and S60 devices. Their announcement details a new deal to sell software in the Best Buy brick and mortar stores. They will have a special branded version of their online store, In-HandT, that will dispense programs using Best Buy’s Mobile Genie point-of-sale system. This will let customers browse and purchase programs which are then downloaded directly to the customer’s device. Kind of like you can do now with Handango’s online store even outside of Best Buy.
