This application seems to have two core pieces to it. First, it is an application catalog that carriers can ship with the phone. The catalog is completely customizable to match the carrier's branding. User can select to purchase applications from the catalog. Secondly, InHand is a download manager that will download and install the purchased applications. InHand offers: Offline Access. Subscribers who are out of service range or who do not have a data plan can preview downloads within Handango InHand, providing a compelling incentive for establishing data service. On-Demand Content. Customers can update Handango InHand at their convenience, refreshing the catalog with the newest titles. Seamless DRM (Digital Rights Management). Handango InHand automatically generates device-specific unlock codes without any hassle for the customer while delivering rock-solid security to developers and song artists. Download Safeguard. When customers are downloading and wireless service fails or is intermittent, Handango InHand's download safeguard allows them to resume interrupted downloads at any point without losing any data. Online Vault. Downloads are stored in an online account. Customers can access the account at any time to restore lost downloads to their phones. <img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/HandangoInHand.gif" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/>
