Handango is a popular provider of smartphone applications that has just been acquired by the PocketGear. What makes this move so special is that the two companies together have to offer more than 140,000 applications to plenty of different smartphones including: Palm, Symbian, Android, Windows Mobile, Java, and Linux.

In case you are interested in the big numbers, with the fresh acquisition PocketGear now supports over 2,000 handsets.

Alex Bloom of Handango, comments:

As we increase our scale, not only can we further accelerate speed to market of new devices and applications in a rapidly changing marketplace, but we’re also better positioned to help our distribution and developer partners increase the overall revenues per download from both paid and free apps.
