Google Finance Android app

Google has released a dedicated Android app for its Google Finance service, allowing user around the world to watch their portfolio tanking in real time, as well as get other useful and not that useful market indicators — all while on the go.

Among the features included are the ability to get stock quotes, market data and related financial news. Moreover, if you are following the markets throughout the day, there’s a real-time streaming quotes in your portfolio, fast stock look-ups with search auto-suggestion, and “recent quotes” to make it even easier receive quotes on-the-go.

For each stock/company, you can see detailed quotes, charts and news, while any change you make from your handset automatically syncs up with the Google Finance website, which is super cool.

Available only for the U.S. users at the moment, Google Finance for Android can be downloaded for free from Android Market.

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    Small correction re: “Available only for the U.S. users”, it’s available to everyone, but only shows US markets.

    Wow! That’s awesome! I can’t wait until I’m able to replace my current mobile with an Android device.

    Yahoo really needs to consider making a good app for finance as well. I find both Google and Yahoo finance sites very useful.
