Morningstar application available for iPhone Among the more than 35,000 applications available for iPhones is a new one rolled out by Morningstar Inc. this week. Morningstar Mobile for iPhone (it will also run on the iPod Touch) is the first application for mobile devices created by the Chicago-based company. You don’t have to have an account with Morningstar to use the application, and the data and content are free. It will mainly appeal to advisers and sophisticated investors. Features of the software include access to independent analyst research, investing ideas, real-time quotes, ratings, company profiles, a customizable watch list, ticker look-up and search, as well as financial news. Those using the ticker look-up and search features to locate a certain stock, fund or exchange traded fund will find that as they start typing into the text fields, the results will automatically display on the screen. The help and data-definitions sections come populated with explanatory material for all data points used in the application. Morningstar will launch a similar application for BlackBerry later this summer. For more information on the software, including detailed descriptions of each screen, a link to iTunes, and a demonstration video visit Morningstar Mobile for iPhone online.
