Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services released two iPad apps – CreditMatters and CreditMatters eReports.
The first app, CreditMatters, builds on the company’s existing iPhone app, providing access to S&P’s top headlines, research summaries, commentaries, analyses, videos and podcasts. In addition, there’s the S&P iCMBS module that takes advantage of the iPad’s larger screen by mapping out commercial properties in the user’s vicinity and indicating CMBS transactions as well as loan, property and deal-level details. Moreover, with the iPad-exclusive Bank Credit Scenario Builder, users can create and compare illustrative issuer credit rating scenarios based on their own parameters as well as Standard & Poor’s bank ratings methodology and assumptions. Another module, the Snapshot, presents daily market stats, news and trends in a visual and interactive way.
As for the other app, CreditMatters eReports, it lets users experience S&P’s coverage of today’s hot topics in finance, credit markets, and the global economy. Each digital magazine can be downloaded for offline viewing and is packed with articles, video, audio, charts, and other related materials from Standard & Poor’s global team of credit analysts.
Both apps are now available as free downloads from Apple’s App Store. If you own an iPad and you’re also into finance, you may want to check ‘em out…

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.
