Is there a simple program out that shows you Stock Market info like the iPhone does?

I have used Pocket Stock, or whatever it's called before (it's a plug in that scrolls through one line on the Today screen) but that seemed a bit buggy still. I also saw some other professional programs that go way too in depth with what they can do. I just want something simple that shows you the three main indicators, and maybe a graph associated with each, and maybe a line that allows you to look up stocks. It would be nice to have a simple application that would do that, which is why I like the app that comes with the iPhone, simple, easy to use, informative, fast, and pretty!

I searched all over the place but can't find anything, anyone else have any better luck?

Thanks!

I haven't tested, but Journal Bar has a stock application.

Depends on the last time you looked at it, but it's pretty stable now (Pocket StockCenter)

If you open Yahoo to Go you can track stocks on there. That's the only thing I've been using to keep track of my current stocks.

The buggy part to me was that I set it to update stocks like every 5 mins or so (can't remember but it was quite frequently), but it didn't actually update on it's own unless I paused it manually and restarted it.

Does it update by itself now, or do I still have to initiate it?

And you wouldn't happen to know where I can download it to try it?

And aren't you the guy that wrote it? lol

I might give Yahoo Go a try...don't want to use up too much precious memory....

Hopefully it works properly, and yeah, I wrote it..give Yahoo Go a shot too

It gave me an error message after I activated it and then tried to pause/unpause the updates. Oh well.... just going to check that stuff the old fashioned way.

Thanks though!
