How to install Stocks.app on the iPod touch

mail app on ipod touch

In few easy steps, we will be copying the Yahoo Stocks.app from your iPhone so that you can use it on your iPod touch as well! While it is possible
to obtain Stocks.app without owning an iPhone, it may be illegal to do so because you do not have a license for the mobile Stocks.app.

  1. Jailbreak your devices

    Jailbreak your iPhone (instructions coming soon) and your iPod touch (instructions here)

  2. Install SSH and SFTP on both devices

    Install SSH and SFTP on your iPhone and your iPod touch so that you can transfer files from them.

  3. Connect via SFTP to your iPhone


    Use an SFTP client such as Fugu, Fetch, or WinSCP and connect to the iPhone. Navigate to the /Applications directory.

  4. Copy the Yahoo Stocks application from the iPhone


    Drag Stocks.app from the iPhone onto your Desktop.

  5. Connect to your iPod touch via SFTP

    Disconnect from your iPhone and use the same program as in step 3 to connect to your iPod touch. Navigate to the /Applications directory

  6. Copy the Stocks application to the iPod touch

    Drag Stocks.app from your Desktop to the iPod touch’s Application folder.

  7. Restart the iPod touch

    Turn the iPod touch off by holding the Lock button (upper right corner) and sliding the red slider when it appears. Turn it back on again by holding the Lock button. Stocks should now be on your Springboard!

    Someone just do it. Apple was rude enough to remove them on a $400 device, so someone just post them already. Even if it gets taken down at least some people will get them and propagate them.

    I don’t know that it is right to expect anyone to pirate the iPhone’s software but I do think we should all let Apple know that they really need to add these features down the line. Slightly off topic but is anyone having problems using Safari and playing music at the same time. My music keeps getting cut off by Safari.
    Other then that one big issue I’m really impressed with the device.

    Yep mine’s doing that as well, surfing along nicely while listening to music and then sudden silence!

    Any clues as to a solution or rumors of what causes it?

    After searching the Apple site looking for a way to contact them to see if these applications we be coming available on the iTouch i found that no matter where you click you always get sent to there troubleshooting page? I also agree that these applications should be available on the iTouch and wouldn’t mind paying for the privilege as long as its not overpriced?
