ConvertIt for MS Smartphone released October 10, 2005 [MS Smartphone] | By Edward J. R. After SMS/Text voting solution for MS smartphone here comes another program written by Dave Glover - a Microsoft employee from Microsoft Australia, who apparently has too much time on his hands, so he writes free applications: A Traveler's Dream: Currency, Distance, Temperature, Stock Quotes and more!!! ... and provides also source code and explanations of the solution! ... so it may be useful for end users but also for developers. It runs on a Windows Mobile Smartphone with the Compact Framework V1 installed on it; which should be pretty much any Smartphone - Windows Mobile 2002, 2003 and V5 etc!! It's actually been written as a generalised "Ratio" converter, I've loaded up ratios for converting weights, distances and temperatures, but it's arbitrary, you could give it a ratio for "Pigs to a Pen" and it would convert it;-) It also calls two Web Services, one for "Currency Rates" and the other for "Stock Quotes" - both services are provided by http://www.webservicex.net, and the results of this web services calls are saved locally for offline conversions.
