is there going to be an app that you can download?

Good question. We don't have any immediate plans - doing it as a mobile website allows us to develop faster and support multiple platforms (such as Blackberries, which a lot of our users use). But I certainly wouldn't rule it out as a future development.

Any thoughts on an Android version?

Fred - we'd certainly love to have an Android app, many of us here at Citywire Towers are paid-up Android fans.
For the same reasons as above we'll probably focus on developing our mobile website further initially, as Android and iPhone browsers are capable of doing most of the things that a 'proper' app would allow us to do, but it's something we're constantly evaluating.

Very useful, particularly for up to date information when on the move and away from desktop facilities. The links to associated articles are also useful.
Would it be possible to develop the facility to create a watch list, listing selected funds on one page? Perhaps this is something to think about if you were to develop an app?

You're a mindreader, Marketwatcher - we weren't able to implement this feature in time for the release, but it's certainly something we plan to include in future versions. Unfortunately I can't say when that'll be because I don't know!

Similar to market maker ...a watch list with email triggers on events such as unit price, chsange of manager, trading below bench mark would be useful (not sure if already present).
