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.
