What does FlashInsight, Inc. do?

FlashInsight offers custom software development services as well as several commercial software products, including MobiStox.

MobiStox is a mobile web application that allows individuals and professionals to track U.S. stocks and ETFs (AMEX, NYSE, NASDAQ) from their smart phone device. MobiStox is optimized for smart phone web browsers and is also compatible with desktop browsers such as Internet Explorer and Firefox.

How are they different?

Most mobile stock tracking applications available today are free. And the saying “you get what you pay for” definitely rings true with these offerings. Most are not as feature rich. For example, MobiStox provides near real-time stock quotes whereas most others have a 20 minute delay.

Aside from features, most mobile applications are platform specific (ie. iPhone, Blackberry). MobiStox is a web appilcation, meaning it can work on all major smart phone browsers (iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Opera). If you become familiar with an iPhone stock tracking app and switch to an Android/Google phone, you will need to find a new application to suit your needs. With MobiStox, nothing would change.

Many people do provide a native phone application to a web-based application, but we believe that as the mobile web browser continues to advance, this will change. A native smart phone app only works on your phone. Since MobiStox is a web application, it is also compatible with desktop browsers such as Internet Explorer and Firefox. It can be accessed from virtually any device that has an internet connection.

Why could FlashInsight, Inc. be BIG?

As smart phone marketshare continues to increase and more people seek out mobile applications, we believe that personal finance applications are going to be a “must have” for many individuals.

How they plan to make money:

Subscription based services

Our thoughts:

We at Discovering Startups have used stock mobile apps and we completely agree – they work, but they are usually too slow for our liking. Definitely see the benefits of this service, and you have a nice target market.
