Free Wall Street Journal (WSJ.com) Mobile Reader for Blackberry Users

Until now, Blackberry user only can use the Wall Street Journal home page shortcut to direct to WSJ.com mobile web site. But this has changed with the release of the WJS Mobile reader app this week. The reader pulls full contents from WSJ to the mobile device to deliver the latest news headlines, full-text articles, stocks and market data, among other information.

Customization is available to get feeds from WSJ.com, AllThingsD.com, Barrons.com and MarketWatch.com. Navigation shortcuts are included in the app. For example, a single click of the "1" key moves users to the top of any page, while hitting "7" goes to the bottom of a page. And pressing "9" takes you to the next article on the screen, while "3" takes you to the previous story, etc.

Users can even get Google News and Yahoo! News alerts for custom keywords, so all relevant news from those sources is pulled into the app for easy access.

A similar application is also available to Windows Mobile smartphone owners, though the new app is BlackBerry-specific and will work on all RIM 8xxx series devices, as well as the BlackBerry 7200 line.  To download WSJ.com Mobile Reader, Go to this site enter your e-mail address associated with your BlackBerry and a message with a download link will be sent to your inbox.  [Via CIO]
