NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Interactive Data Corporation, a leading provider of financial market data, analytics and related solutions, today announced that it helped to build “CBOE Mobile,” a newly launched iPhone application offered by the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), the largest U.S. options exchange and creator of listed options. The app can be downloaded for free from iTunes at http://itunes.apple.com/br/app/cboe-mobile/id408732793?mt=8.
