MoreStocks Review – webOSroundup

Business users are one of the major targets of the Pre (and to a lesser extent the Pixi). As such, it is imperative that webOS has apps that cater to them. And what do a lot of businessmen and women do? They pay attention to the stock markets. So how do we cater to them? [...]
