I've been loving all these native apps, but there's one I'm dying to see: a unit converter just like the unit converter widget. Lengths, weights, currencies, etc. I realize the currencies are a bit more difficult than the others since they'd require internet updating, but somebody pretty please try to build this app?? I'd be willing to chip in some funds a la a shareware application!

I second this.
This would be very helpful.
(The online one rarely works for me..)

[schrysco]

Shall we start a list of people willing to chip in via paypal for somebody to build this thing?

theres a real good web app for this, including currency:

Yeah, I've used it-- but I'm not always online, and I hate having to launch safari, then go to a bookmark. I'm looking for some one stop coversion shopping! Also, it'd be nice to have one that looks & feels like the widget that I use all the time.

The guy that created that web app needs to fix his spelling of Area, by the way

I was just going to post about a converter yesterday.

This would be a great app to have!

[schrysco]

anyone want to give this a try?? I tried installing the conversion widget, but it doesn't work, unfortunately.

would also like a native unit converter. Has one been made?

There is a way to do currencies using the stocks program.

First go to the yahoo business site here http://finance.yahoo.com/currency and put in the currency conversion you would like on your iphone.

When you've done that there will be a code that looks like this AUDUSD=X, just add that in the stocks program on iphone and voila, instant exchange rates.
