ToySoft has really been pushing cool homescreen icon apps recently. Their latest is called StockIcons and lets you have custom homescreen icons for every stock you follow on the market. Each icon would look like a regular app icon. They can have different fonts, colors, and background colors with the stock price and price change shown on the icon. The only downside is that prices are delayed due to the feed they are using.You can use the app to monitor up to 32 stocks and it can update anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes. Pretty cool idea for an app that costs $2.99 until Dec 18th $3.99 regularly.Let us know what you think if you pick up a copy!

We have it on good authority that T-Mobile and AT&T both currently plan on announcing the Bold 2 — also known as the Onyx — on October 21. As a refresher, this would be the touchpad-driven piece with model number 9700 that’s been making the rounds on the leak circuit the past few months, a fitting successor to a device that virtually every celebrity this side of Merle Haggard has been photographed carrying at once point or another. What we don’t know is pricing or retail launch date, but at least this gives us a pretty hard target for when we can expect details — so start cleaning out that Bold trackball, because you’re going to have something to eBay here pretty shortly.
