Many prospective buyers are excited about the openness of the operate system on board the device. Similarly, there is ample anticipation over the third-party application platform. Yet it isn’t clear when Google will will be able to provide a payment system to enable financial transactions of applications. For several weeks already, the company has promoted the idea of free downloads to start its journey. That is unless developers choose to route their developments through Handango.
If you’ve been familiar with the mobile application market for any extended period of time - all the way back to the days of the Palm Pilot, really - you’ll know that Handango has evolved into a sort of mutli-platform storefront for applications both free and paid-for. So, given the open parameters of the Android platform, Handango is clearly taking the opportunity to piece together a formula for Android developers to market their items to any shoppers ready and willing to buy.
Some of the items expected to be delivered via Handango for Android users are EA Mobile’s “Tetris” and “Monopoly: Here & Now” titles; a Weather Channel application; Voice on the Go (email voice commands); ShopSavvy (barcode scanning); Par 72 Golf II; and Vegas Pool Sharks.
And not only will Handango provide the cloud space to deliver applications to site visitors. It also promises developers things such as search keywords, email marketing, and advertising. The company is even running a promotion for “the best free Android app and the best paid Android app” through to November 7, with winners receiving $25,000 in marketing credit, just to have things off to a running start.
