TheStreet.com, the well-known New York-based financial company, has announced that it is now offering a special application created in order to allow BlackBerry users to easily access all its content. Thus, owners of RIM-made smartphones who need to stay updated with the latest financial news, stocks, quotes and other related financial information, will now have the perfect tool for doing so.

 

The new BlackBerry app offers:

 

- content sections on categories, including Latest News, Analyst Upgrades & Downgrades, Winners & Losers, Jim Cramer and so on;

- customizable stock watch lists, so that you can add/remove stocks according to your needs;

- notification on the home-screen – new stories and all the updated content will be easily spotted;

- quotes for important indexes like Nasdaq, The Dow or S&P; a quote search box is also featured.

 

Developed by Polar Mobile, a Canadian smartphone software developer, TheStreet for BlackBerry is offered free of charge, and can be downloaded directly to your handset from TheStreet's official website.

 

“When it comes to investors – from Wall Street professionals to regular consumers – nothing is more critically time-sensitive than stock market news. A clear benefit to Blackberry smartphone users, this new mobile application will allow TheStreet.com's vital, up-to-the-minute financial content to reach them more easily than ever,” declared General Manager, Multimedia, TheStreet.com, Bill McCandless.

 

Vice President of Business Development at Polar Mobile, Gaurav Jain, added, “Polar Mobile is proud to partner with TheStreet.com to deliver timely and relevant content to their users, as it happens. Our robust platform combined with push publishing ensures that users continue to engage with TheStreet.com’s leading financial news when they want, where they want.”

 

Mobile users who don't have or don't want a BlackBerry smartphone, but still need to stay up to date with the latest in financial info, will be also able to do it, as TheStreet.com intends to offer its new application for Windows Mobile devices and Apple's iPhone too, sometime in the next few weeks.
