Application Roundup: STAR-Yatra; Moneycontrol-Markets On Mobile

– STAR India has signed a 12 month alliance with Online Travel Agent (OTA) Yatra.com to offer air travel reservations, hotel bookings etc on STARs GPRS based mobile platform PLUS. STAR already has other OTAs – MakeMyTrip and TravelGuru already on board. Yatra has its own GPRS based application as well, so I guess it’s about being on as many locations as possible.

— Web18’s financial portal Moneycontrol.com has launched its own mobile application called Markets On Mobile. I’d tried to download the application yesterday (SMS MOM to 52622) but had some problems – the WAP site didn’t detect my phone (N95) and start the download like it happens in most cases, and I couldn’t find a link for downloading. I informed them, and it appears to be working fine today. The application itself seems spiffy, offering News, Markets Statistics, Indices, Market Outlook, listings of stocks and a watchlist via GPRS. However, the portfolio tracker requires a pre-existing moneycontrol.com ID to work – one can’t sign up and host a portfolio using the application. Reliance Money had also recently launched an application for financial information.
