Handango Announces the Appointment of Wireless and Content Veteran, Bill Stone, as CEO

 HURST, Texas, Nov. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Handango, the world's leading
provider of smartphone content, today announced the appointment of Bill
Stone, a long-time content and wireless industry leader, as chief executive
officer. Randy Eisenman, who founded and developed the company into the
global smartphone content leader with more than 16,000 content partners and
a market-leading content delivery platform, will remain actively engaged
with the company and board in areas including corporate strategy, strategic
partners and acquisitions.

    Recognizing the global opportunity for Handango as consumers are
increasingly adopting smartphones and looking for content to enhance their
experience and productivity, Eisenman recommended to the board of directors
earlier this year that the company had achieved the scale and the
prominence in the industry to attract a world-class leader in the wireless
space to help aggressively drive the business to the next level.

    "Our wish list for a new CEO included proven leadership, deep wireless
experience on a global scale, and innovation in mobile content. Bill's
leadership experience with Amp'd Mobile, Verizon Wireless, Vodafone and
J-Phone Tokyo clearly brings all of that and more to the table," said
Eisenman. "Bill's introduction to the entire team as CEO on Dec. 4th will
mark another significant milestone in Handango's evolution as the dominant
mobile content retailer, and I'm thrilled to welcome him as a partner."

    Handango, founded in 1999, became the world's largest aggregator and
distributor of applications for personal digital assistants (PDAs).
Beginning in 2004, the company transitioned its focus to the emerging
smartphone market, and over the last several years, has become the largest
and most respected smartphone content retailer for both consumers and
partners, including carriers, handset manufactures, and mobile operating
systems. In 2006, Handango secured more than $60 million in funding to
aggressively expand its leadership position on a global scale.

    "I have been watching Randy's success in growing Handango for years,
and I am excited to join the team," said Stone. "I was attracted to
Handango for numerous reasons, including a chance to leverage an impressive
asset base that includes an industry-leading consumer brand with millions
of consumer users, thousands of content partners, an impressive
distribution network, and a team of mobile content experts passionate about
building a great business. Bringing together these assets at a time when
smartphones are rapidly being adopted by the mass consumer market presented
an opportunity too good to pass up."

    Former president and chief executive officer of AT&T Wireless and
current Handango director, Mohan Gyani, added, "Attracting someone of
Bill's caliber is a huge win for the company and really speaks to both
Handango's success to date and its strong potential. Bill brings a deep
understanding of content and the wireless ecosystem, and we look forward to
seeing where Bill, along with the talented team already in place, will take
Handango."
