I am looking for a very simple stock market ticker that would display on today screen, nothing fancy, just enter the symbols and it would show as a ticker, perhaps 1/4" in height.

I wish the HTC Today Plugin had another button very similar to weather that would display some stock market information.

That would be great, but it should also have a good collection of settings for updating... such as always update when (otherwise) connected or to initiate a connection...

The ticker should show the quotes age while market is open, then show the close price... (Maybe an option to connect for just that?)

I have been searching the internet to find such an application but no luck, the only thing I found was here http://www.magnifoca.com/ but they only make the software for a smartphone, take a look at the ticker, that's exactly what I am looking for, no bels and whistles.

I am surprised with so much talent out there that nobody wrote such an application, like I said magnifoca has one but it's only for smartphones, I e-mailed them couple of times but no response. There are many such programs for PC's and I am sure it's not that difficult to port it to pocket pc's.

Have you tried that Smartphone program on a Pocket PC? Some Smartphone programs run fine on a PPC.

I tried it already, not working, getting error messages.

I just installed this on my Kaiser and it's a keeper. Can I join development on this? I would like the background to have an option to go green or red on each update if the price went up or down.

Yeah I would like to have a red and green indicator, that tells me if it fell or went up
