14 DAY TRIAL // Apple has approved Paragon Technologie’s Handy Converter, an all-in-one conversion utility for iPhone and iPod touch. The piece of software provides foreign exchange rates and performs various units of measure calculations directly on the iPhone’s screen.
Supporting over 30 world currencies and units (area, length, power, size, speed, temperature, volume, and weight), Handy Converter only requires an iPhone or an iPod (the press release doesn’t specify which model, but we’re guessing it’s the touch), iPhone OS 2.0 (it’s also 3.0-tested), and costs 4, 99 EUR (5, 99 USD). A direct download link to the iTunes App Store can be found at the bottom of this piece.

The company lists the following main features:
- Instant value evaluation while typing; - Conversions into more than 30 major world currencies; - Foreign exchange rates automatically provided by Bank of Canada and European Central Bank, or rate may be manually assigned; - Clothing size conversions from seven international scales for men’s, women’s and children’s apparel and shoes; - Conversions of area, length, power, speed, temperature, volume, weight; - Smart and user-friendly interface without complicated menus.
