Android – Iphone – Applications

Mobile phones give consumers a whole slew of functionality that they wouldn’t otherwise have while on the go. Not only are they able to make calls but they’re able to check email, keep tabs on social networks and do pretty much anything else a readily available broadband connection provides. In fact, due to these mobile broadband connections coupled with third party software the possibilites of what a smartphone can be used for are virtually endless.

One demographic that may benefit from having a smartphone is investors who are able to keep tabs on the various share prices and other stock market happenings. Today, that job has been made even easier as it was recently announced that the Yahoo Finance application which is already available for both iOS and BlackBerry OS is now available for Android.

Yahoo lets us know that the below features have been added initially with more functionality coming in the future:

• Real-time quotes
• Customizable stock watch list
• Access to Yahoo Finance portfolios
• Stats and news
• Tech Ticker video

Considering it’s free, you might as well go check it out, right?
