Stock ticker for N800/OS2008?
 

Hey ppl. I was wondering if there was some sort of application to get stock updates on either the homescreen as a widget sort of thing or even as a seperate application so that i wouldnt have to log onto websites for it all the time.

Thanks alot!

I found this on the garage - https://garage.maemo.org/projects/stock-plugin/ Not sure how good it is as I just got my n800 and am in the process of updating it to OS2008.

hey MysticKiller...was just thinking would be great to have the stock ticker too!
....u can do Google's mobile page....better than iGoogle...cuts all the junk out....just text, but it's fast!

Speaking of that, I guess you could have a stock ticker application on your personalised iGoogle homepage, but this would still be small and require fiddling about with to view properly, and also you would have to open up a webpage.

Just in case, I have a portfolio with yahoo finance and get delayed, streaming quotes merely by surfing into the web page of my portfolio.

MysticKiller, you could put one of these gadgets on your iGoogle page:

For example there is one called: Google Finance Portfolios

Yeah dude, I mentioned this in post #5. Its a good idea, but I'd like to have a bigger screen area dedicated to it. I hate to say this, but something like whats found on the iPhone would be good, but more customizable. Even something like the RSS feeder but for stocks of my choice would be cool.

Congratulations on avoiding the "this has already been covered in another post" or "this belongs over in this thread" rants.

I agree that this is a program that ought to exist and I would like it, too. Doesn't seem like it would be that hard. I wish I had the aptitude to program.

You can plug in the RSS for a Quote into the RSS feed reader. That's what I did at the end , for lack of a graceful solution (and no, Google Finance widget on iGoogle page on Tablet is not a stock ticker solution).

Try googling for Stock quotes in RSS format and there are quite a few.
