Track exchange rates in Stocks
Do a lot of traveling? Have a hard time keeping track of your pounds, Euros, kroner, rupees, etc? Wouldn’t it be nice if there were an easy way to consult your iPhone and get the latest currency figures, without having to resort to digging through web pages?
A clever tipster over at our sister site Mac OS X Hints points out that Yahoo, which provides the information for the Stocks application, has special ticker symbols you can enter to track currency exchanges as well. So, for example, if you spend a lot of time in the UK, you can add ticker symbol GBPUSD=X, and you’ll have the exchange rate between pounds and dollars at your fingertips.
You can find all the available codes at Yahoo, for all of your traveling/currency needs.
