The Android® Operating System reigned supreme in what was a very tight race among several smartphone operating systems in Handango's(TM) inaugural Facebook(TM) Face Off. Handango users narrowly voted the Android operating system as their favorite smartphone operating system over BlackBerry® and Windows Mobile® in the week long vote that took place on the Handango Facebook page. Voting amongst the Android, BlackBerry, Palm®, Symbian® and Windows Mobile operating systems was open to all visitors of the page.
Handango has long been a top destination for Windows Mobile apps, catering to users of the Windows Mobile operating system since its inception. With the rapid growth of the Android OS however, Handango is seeing even its traditional customer base adopt the new platform. Popular Android apps like ShopSavvy and The Weather Channel® are now consistently top downloads at the Handango marketplace. The Android OS's victory in Handango's Facebook Face Off marks yet another sign of the incredible growth and momentum behind the emerging mobile platform.
"We are happy to see our customers excited and passionate about the Android Operating System," said Dov Cohn, Vice President of Products and Marketing of PocketGear, parent company to Handango. "Android's popularity is growing incredibly fast and it is important to our catalog. Both the amount of Android downloads and the number of Android applications available in our app marketplace have increased exponentially this year."
Having voted Android OS as the winning operating system of the competition, Android users can receive a free download of Aces Solitaire Pack 2 from Concrete Software on Handango.com between Sept 21-24, and can receive a 25% site wide discount on all other Android applications.
