Stock brokers have to be on the go, go, go. They have to be fast on their toes and move quick. Zip! There goes one now! Zoom! And, another. So, a company called thinkorswim has created thinkMicro, a Java ME technology-enabled app for your cell phone that lets you track stocks in real-time.

Think or Swim with Java ME
Here's a quote:
Powered by the latest J2ME technology,
thinkMicro allows customers to be
device neutral as well as account-type
neutral, yet provides access to
integrated stock, option and futures
trading on the latest hand-held
technology.
You gotta move, move, move, see? If you want to be a stock trader, you understand that "Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms... is good." -- Gordon Gecko. (I wonder if he said that speech to Catherine Zeta Jones?)
And if you want your stock monitoring apps to work on a wide range of phones (not just one phone, like the phone that starts with the letter "i") ;-) you choose to program it in Java ME technology.
