Track Data Corporation (Nasdaq NMS: TRAC) announced today that its myTrack online trading system is now accessible using Internet-capable cellular telephones. myTrack members can use their wireless phones to place trades, check positions, and access real-time quotes.

"Mobile phones increase people's access to myTrack," said Barry Hertz, Track Chairman and CEO. "When they're at their PC, members can use myTrack's fully integrated trading screen with streaming real-time quotes and news to track their portfolio and place trades. When they're on the go, they can use these phones to keep tabs on their portfolio and place a trade. With all of our wireless initiatives, myTrack is available any time, any place."

Since January, myTrack members have enjoyed wireless access to myTrack through handheld organizers such as the Palm, made by Palm, Inc. (Nasdaq: PALM). Earlier this year, Track also announced an agreement with Flextrader.com to develop a wireless trading platform for the RIM Interactive pager.
