Best Buy Mobile today announced a retail partnership with Google™ that will help bring Google Mobile App to consumers and expand their mobile experiences. Best Buy is the first retailer in the U.S. to work with Google to distribute Google Mobile App on smartphones sold in-store.

Google Mobile App makes it fast and easy to search Google from your mobile phone. Key features include:

One-click access to Google – search Google without having to navigate to the internet
Search by voice – speak your query in plain English
My Location – search for local businesses without having to type your current location
Google Suggest – search for suggested queries and businesses that appear as you type

Best Buy Mobile associates will install Google Mobile App on all compatible smartphones through the Walk Out Working program which is a free in-store smartphone setup. Google will announce this additional method of getting Google Mobile App on its Mobile Blog (http://googlemobile.blogspot.com) and will provide more information on a new web site, (http://www.google.com/bestbuymobile), scheduled to launch November 9.

Best Buy Mobile has become a leading destination for smartphone purchases, because of the promise it makes to customers: better choice of phones and networks; impartial, informed advice; straightforward pricing; and someone to be there for the life of the phone.
