11/6/2009 - Best Buy (NYSE:BBY) stores will begin outfitting smartphones with Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) applications in hopes of drawing more shoppers to its locations with the "Walk Out Working" program, according to a Reuters report. The program provides free in-store setup of smartphones, and now associates will install the "Google Mobile App" which offers faster Google searches from mobile phones and the ability to search by voice. The app can easily be downloaded at m.google.com, but users often run into trouble for having the wrong handset or data plan.

Best Buy Mobile, the mobile specialty retail unit of Best Buy, has announced a retail partnership with Google to co-market Google Mobile App.
Best Buy Mobile has said that its associates will install Google Mobile App on all compatible smartphones through the Walk Out Working program which is a free in-store smartphone setup.
Scott Moore, vice president of marketing for Best Buy Mobile, said: "We know that consumers want smartphones and, increasingly, they want to use applications. The challenge is that people still need help understanding what is available to them and how they can bring it to life on their device. This partnership between Best Buy and Google serves that role and will go a long way in bringing applications to more consumers regardless of what device, carrier or platform they use."
