NEW YORK – (Nov. 5, 2009) - Polar Mobile (web-staging.polarmobile.com) today is announcing the release of TheStreet.com Mobile for Android on Polar’s SMART platform. Already a Webby Award Honoree on BlackBerry, the Google-based platform launch of TheStreet.com marks the first of many Polar Mobile Android applications to come.
“The buzz around Android is undeniable,” said Kunal Gupta, CEO of Polar Mobile. “With Motorola, Verizon, Samsung, LG and other major players taking a significant bet, it is essential for Polar to extend our SMART Platform to support Android devices for our customers. The application market is heating up and we get that media brands need help getting their content out across multiple platforms.”
The Android application features push-delivered market data, a customized stock portfolio, articles and commentary from Jim Cramer and more. Add to this the benefit of blazing fast browsing with the ability to personalize content, and TheStreet.com, now on Android, BlackBerry, and iPhone is one of the strongest cross-platform financial applications in the market today.
“Strong forecasts for Android suggest that this launch was the natural next-step for us,” said Bill McCandless, Executive Editor of Multimedia for TheStreet.com. “The cross-platform reach provided by Polar is essential for accessing our readers in what will become an increasingly fragmented smartphone market.”
