The "quick query bot" -- or qqbot -- offers the simplest way to get stock quotes on your BlackBerry, cell phone, or personal digital assistant handheld.
qqbot is an e-mail based (and soon sms-based) stock quotes auto-responder.
qqbot works best with "push" e-mail devices such as the BlackBerry. It works well with devices such as:
+ RIM BlackBerry handhelds (857 / 957 or new phone-combination devices),
+ Handspring Treo 600's (the Treo is a e-mail pull device - user needs to issue a check e-mail command after submitting a query),
+ two-way pagers,
+ Motorola Timeport devices,
+ Good Technology's handhelds, or
+ any of a list of Palm or WinCE handhelds that connect to the internet with technologies such as 802.11 hotspots (usually pull devices as well).
qqbot takes all the slow, clumsy, painful web / WAP access experience out of wireless information retrieval -- a 20 stock quote query effort can take 5 minutes on services like AT&T Wireless's M-Mode or T-Mobile's T-Zones -- which we think is not a great way to spend your time while sipping a venti mocha at Starbucks -- using qqbot, 20 stocks are updated and on your BlackBerry in less than 30 seconds!
