Can anybody recommend a good piece of software (we have iPaq 2210's) that lets you track the latest stock price / exchange rate changes? Specifically, we are based in the UK, and are interested in LME (London Metal Exchange) prices.

Yah...I have been looking for such software myself but it seems like there isn't any....which amazing to me. Live stream quotes & charts on my iPAQ would be one of the last features which I have really wanted.

The closest you can get to live quotes on your iPAQ is to lauch PIE and lock into http://data.island.com ....hahaaaa

Two Peaks Software http://www.twopeaks.com has a product called PDA Agent, but I don't believe they have updated it to work on Windows Mobile 2003.

Hi

I use Journal bar from Omega One
http://www.omegaone.com/PocketPC/JournalBar.html
Seems to the job.

The news at the moment is all depressing though...

Cheers David

That's what we just got - Journal Bar - which is very good, with a few problems:
when tapping on any of the news stories more often than not it comes up with a page cannot be found and hangs the whole pocket pc!
also - the stocks info seems to be USA-oriented, do you happen to know if we can add London Metal Exchange info to this part of Journal Bar? How the heck do you work the stocks part of the Journal Bar!

Yeah the empahsis is on us stocks and I've tried searching the msn money central site for the metal exchange and it ain't listed.
Sorry for setting your expectations :cry:

The proxy setting's are a right royal pain in the arse and seem to get the way of downloading web pages... perhaps that'll be fixed in the lateset version - though have look in the support forum for journal bar they might be able to help. :roll:
