We're an increasingly mobile society and the convergence of Internet content, mobile applications and e-business are redefining the communications landscape.

When it comes to investment information, there is a ton available on the web. The latest thing is to provide mobile anytime, anywhere access to this information. And so the question is, which technologies actually deliver on this promise and which are in a state of perpetual over promise.

First, let's look at what people want and need from an investment information experience. People value ease of use, convenience, control, privacy and speed. And these words are not the first that come to mind when talking about the web and the new wireless web offerings. With the mobile access of Internet data on mobile Internet ready phones or PDAs, the customer experience can be best defined as high on the hassle scale.

But there is a new way to access investment information on the run. It's through "voice portals" that deliver information by voice from any phone. A prime example is TickerTel an investment information service that provides real-time quotes, portfolio tracking, investment recommendations and other professional style information. We tested it and we love it! Particularly liked hearing updated recommendations from a number of the nations leading investment newsletter editors. It's fast, convenient and you get to it from any phone, the most convenient and reliable device ever invented. With TickerTel you just buy an hour of access time for $14.95 (25 cents per minute- and the price goes down for frequent users) and use it as you wish. No devices to buy, no extra fees to pay, no waiting and no coverage problems. And because real-time financial information is time sensitive, there's no annoying advertising to wade through. This service delivers 100% on its promise. Check it out at TickerTel.com and you can experience mobile investment information the way it should be.
