Handango Opens UK Storefront
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 03:00 PM
Handango has launched a new UK store-front, although I hope you blokes continue to use the Pocket PC Thoughts store. ;-)
"Handango, the leading provider of mobile downloads, announced today the availability of Handango UK, a Web storefront with content and features optimized for UK residents. The site is available today at www.handango.com/uk. To celebrate the launch, Handango is offering a 10% discount to all shoppers at Handango UK through December 31st.
Handango UK gives UK residents more choice for mobile phone and handheld content. With more than 50,000 software applications and more than 25,000 digital media titles including ringtones and graphics, Handango gives customers thousands of options to make their mobile phones and handhelds more fun, more useful and more personalized.
The new storefront showcases relevant local applications - everything from football schedules to Tube maps - with pricing in pounds sterling. The site also supports mobile phones from Orange, O2, Vodafone and T-Mobile as well as common local purchasing methods such as IVR (interactive voice response), a 1-900 billing system, and Premium SMS.
"We are pleased to offer UK residents a single source to find applications and digital media for their mobile phones and handhelds," said Randy Eisenman, president and chief executive officer of Handango. "The UK has long been a leading market for Handango, and this local site will deliver the features and content most requested by our loyal customers."
The storefront is receiving strong local market support already. Pocket PC Life, PDA News 24, Talk Mobile and Pocket PC Solutions - a network of local UK sites with more than 3 million hits per month - are all affiliates of the new Handango UK and are supporting the launch through linkage and promotions on their respective sites. Other potential UK affiliates can contact [email][email protected][/email] to learn more."
