Another choice for Pocket PC RT quote & intraday chart

Quote from dhandy:

I currently use MidCast Pro from the guys at hillcast.com. It gives me streaming real-time Big Board and NAS stocks. I'm always open to trying other stuff. I pay $29.95/mth for MidCast pro but that also does news and alerts. Is your real-time just a one time fee? Can you do news and alerts?
thanks Flyland!!

You can check news for a certain stock by clicking the news button right beside its intraday chart. Alert is not available in this version. But I'm sure there will be a good alert system built-in in our next product. Right now, we have just started. More features will be added. Thanks for your interest in our product, dhandy :)
 
I just installed the demo.
I like the layout, but the data is not REAL-TIME and not STREAMING.
I can get the same info from yahoo on my PocketPC for free.

All in all I liked it, but it’s not for professional…

A good question. However, we focus on low brandwidth consumption as well. Most wireless internet cellphone plans have brandwidth limitations. So our software retrieves data in small intervals reducing much of the brandwidth demand. For realtime data from ECN, tick by tick data does not represent all the transactions in the whole market, so it isn't critical. Interval-based data fetch from ECN is good enough to get the picture of the market.

I don't know why you said it is not realtime. It's just not streaming. You can get the same Realtime ECN quote from yahoo, but you cannot get the free realtime intraday chart from yahoo. This is surely an advantage.

Moreover, using a web browser on ppc to view quote and delayed chart is very slow. And the html layout is terrible on small screen. So web browser's approach is almost impractical.

The software utilizes free data to its maximum degree, and offers common investor an entry level(or as a backup) solution without paying any subscription fee.

We are designing a PRO version as well. It will solve all of your concerns. :p

Thanks for your comments.
 
I would like to see the PRO version. When will it be out and whats the $$$?

Also, where are you getting your date/quotes from?

Thx

To dhandy: I cannot comment on it at this time. I hope if things go smoothly it won't be a long waiting. Thanks for your support. :)
 
I hope not... Hillcast had a product for cell phones & pda's

MidCast from HillCast can now stream quotes from the NYSE and NASDAQ. This is currently available on all Pocket PCs for $24.95/mth and will be available on all Palm OS devices on september 30.
