Windows Phone Thoughts: PocketX Stock Monitor Adds WM6.5 Support

"Pocket Stock Monitor features an easy-to-use portfolio manager, four advanced stock information views, stock charts, stock price alarms, detailed stock quote information, profit/loss and portfolio value calculations and an automatic quote fetch timer. Best in class user interface coupled with multiple stock data viewing options. Access to latest company news, multiple color schemes and large, easy to read text used for price information make Pocket Stock Monitor a must-have for everyone interested in becoming a more sophisticated investor."

Now that we're seeing some sanity coming back to equity and bond markets worldwide, software like PocketX Stock Monitor becomes more interesting and useful (and less a source of anxiety and heart attacks) - unless of course you've been shorting stocks. Version 5.9 adds some finger-friendly enhancements to the UI, as well as adding support for WM6.5.x which covers a whole slew of devices including the HTC HD2 and Touch Pro 2, Samsung Omnia II, and Sony-Ericsson's Xperia X2. I do wish they had better international exchange coverage, but you can't have everything. You can try out a demo or purchase the software for $24.95 through our affiliate link. PocketX Stock Monitor 5.9 is a free upgrade for registered users if you purchased Stock Monitor within the past year; otherwise an upgrade costs $17.95.
