Moneycontrol is the mobile edition of India's largest online financial portal. It provides information on Indian and world financial markets including general and company specific financial news, an IPO tracker and quotes for equities and mutual funds. The site also offers investment advice from CNBC India anchor Udayan Mukherjee. Registered users can access their Moneycontrol portfolios and watch lists on the mobile site. To register you have to visit the Moneycontrol PC site at moneycontrol.com though.
Moneycontrol mobile is fairly easy to navigate on the small screen and loads quickly on a good connection, but the page size is a little large for mobile with 20KB of markup and an additional 20KB of images. dotMobi and the W3C both recommend no more than 10KB of markup and the same amount of images for a one size fits all mobile site like Moneycontrol. The site's size will keep it from loading in the Motorola MIB browser. Users on metered data plans will not appreciate that the site uses a meta refresh to reload the page every two minutes.
