If you have an Android-powered device and you are a fan of Yahoo! Finance, the Yahoo! service that provides useful financial information, then you are going to love this: a Yahoo! Finance Android app has been released. Earlier this week Yahoo! released the Yahoo! Finance app for Android.

“We’re very excited to announce the launch of our brand new Yahoo! Finance app for Android. Now our users with an Android device have access to the No. 1 finance site in the U.S. –built specifically for their phone,” announced Carl Teeple North America Product Lead, Mobile Media Products.

For now the app is only available in the good old US of A. But as Carl Teeple explained, the app will become available at an international level in the near future.

Here is what you can do with the Yahoo! Finance for Android App:
- Get real-time quotes on your Android phone
- Customize the stock watch list.
- Easily access Yahoo! Finance portfolios.
- View company stats and news.
- View Tech Ticker videos.

In related news, you may want to know that two other Android applications have been released this week: Wolfram Alfa for Android and Skype for Android. The Wolfram Alpha app works on Android 1.6 or later, costs $1.99 and “puts Wolfram|Alpha’s growing repository of curated data, including over ten trillion data elements, and its library of tens of thousands of sophisticated computational models in the palm of your hand,” as the Wolfram Alpha team explained. The Skype for Android app works on Android 2.1 or later, doesn’t cost a thing, and lets you do all the things you can do with the desktop Skype version.
