Reliance ADA Group company Reliance Money has gone mobile with a financial application powered by Webaroo, reports Moneycontrol. It’s a 152 kb application, and gives access to market information, stock quotes and research information.
I just gave it a run, and appears pretty basic and easy to use. What hinders adoption is that the application needs to be downloaded and installed, and one needs a GPRS connection for downloading information. A WAP portal is one way of resolving this issue, but that has its own problems. Really, when it comes to applications, there’s potential for a single large application that works as a gateway to all kinds of services (all you need to do is get GPRS activated). That’s where the handset manufacturers can come in and make all these apps redundant.
