If you need to do some currency conversions when you are on the go, and you are nowhere near a computer with internet access, then there is an easy way to do this if you have a smart phone such as a BlackBerry, T-Mobile G1, or a Motorola Q.All you need to do is download one of the following apps, and youre good to go!
BlackBerry users should try and get hold of an app called Worldmate Live, which is available from the BlackBerry App World service. You will need to download App World to your BlackBerry first. This requires a trackball and a BlackBerry operating system version 4.2 or later, and takes around ten minutes to set up. After installation, simply go into App World and search for Worldmate Live. The app itself should take no longer than three minutes to set install after downloading.
Worldmate Live can boast up to date information about over 160 currencies, plus weather information, an international clothing size comparison chart, and an itinerary organiser.
Owners of a Google Android equipped phone such as the HTC Magic or the T Mobile G1 should get a hold of an app called aCurrency. It only takes about sixty seconds to install, and is able to give you automatically updated exchange rates for over a hundred and sixty currencies.
The easiest way to get it is to download it straight onto your phone from the Android Market, which is very similar to the iTunes App Store. You should be able to find it fairly easily by searching for the keyword Currency and then looking for the aCurrency download from there.The best thing about aCurrency is that it always shows you the current exchange rates without requiring any manual updating on your part.
If you have a smartphone, such as a Samsung Blackjack or a Motorola Q, that is powered by the Windows Mobile OS, then you are able to get your own version of Worldmate Live.
You can do this by logging on to the worldmate.com site and choosing to download this app to your phone by opening a link in an SMS message or email. From here, it should take around ten minutes to download and install.
Due to the fact that these programs all obtain their currency information from the internet, it stands to reason that if you are in a part of the world where you cannot get reception, then your currency information is unlikely to be up to date, so if you need accurate information, then make sure that you are connected when you check.
