Handango, a provider of smartphone applications for various mobile platforms, has recently released its First Half 2008 Handango Yardstick, a trend report about smartphone content and applications. Games and entertainment applications are the big winners so far this year, as people turn from productivity to time wasting. The games category leaped from fourth place at year-end 2007 into the second spot behind the entertainment category -- for the first time in Yardstick's history.Handango's First Half 2008 Handango Yardstick report is based on the data gathered on key smartphones and the types of content purchased from Handango distribution networks. While surely not as accurate as we would like to think, the results here are likely on par with what is going on in the industry.
