Bloomberg’s iPhone app: Apple’s “Stocks” on steroids
Posted 15 July 2008 @ 11am in Applications
The world of finance is sober, serious business, ever more so in a struggling through economy. Bloomberg’s freeware application for the iPhone and iPod Touch gives information-seekers a clear view of the moment with financial headlines, a ticker finder, and a fleshed-out index of world markets.
An appealing dark-themed application, Bloomberg contains a read-only newsfeed and statistics on various exchanges in global markets. Highs, lows, and a graph of yearlong performance are displayed for each exchange–further charts and tables are available for industry and stock movers.
To discover individual stock performance, users simply enter the company name into the stock finder, which also keeps a short-term history of your past queries. Even better, entering stocks and your share holdings into the My Stocks folder creates a personalized portfolio you can watch for daily fluctuation.

Delayed quotes. Not much use to a trader. Go to Google Finance and get real time quotes.

Timely quotes to traders will be supplied on the iPhone. If the brokerage doesn’t support the iPhone , well they can sit with Verizon and watch customer migration to those that do. This is the future. Didn’t mean to startle you.

You can also get real-time quotes from cnbc.com. They have a mobile site designed for cell-phones. But if you’re a serious trader, you shouldn’t be relying on your cell phone for quotes.

Also, in the Bloomberg app, trying to add a new stock to the “My Stocks” tab crashes the app and brings you back to the home-screen. At least that’s the case with iPhone 3G.
