If you have investments or a retirement plan with Vanguard, then you'll be pleased to know that it released an Android app to the Market. The app allows you to access up-to-date info about your account, research investments, perform many types of transactions, and get the latest news from Vanguard and Reuters. If you find a story that you think may be of interest to friends and family, you can easily share it through email or social media.

If you're a Vanguard advisor, you weren't left out in the cold, either: there was also an app released specifically for you. The Vanguard Advisors app allows you quick access to product information, research investment options, monitor price and performance info, create an investment list, and a lot more.

Both apps are free in the Android Market, and you can grab them by hitting the respective widget below.
