Currency is a freeware currency database, conversion and calculator utility for the Palm Computing (R) platform and PalmOS(R) compatible devices.

Currency features 146 currencies, the 13 old Euro cuurencies and 10 fully configurable entries for user defined currencies or trade quantities. A fully configurable display enables the synchronous conversion of up to 8 simulataneous currencies.

The exchange rate date is stored for each individual currency, providing an easy mechanism for assessing the validity period of critical rates. A visual warning marks outdated rates. A fully functional algebraic calculator and a single button tax adder / subtractor simplify common arithmetic operations.

The exchange rates can be updated by downloading a small daily updated currency database (cupdate.pdb) from this site and syncing it to your PalmOS device. The update is done daily around 18:00/18:30 UTC with the spot exchange rates for 146 currencies

Version History

v4.2

• Support for the fiveway navigator (one-handed navigation) for devices like Tungsten T5, LifeDrive, E2, TX, Treo 600, 650, 680, 700p.
• New application icon contributed by Ciro Rodrigues.
• Slovenia (SIT) joined the Euro on Jan 1 2007.
• Following currencies have fixed exchange rates with the Euro: West + Central African Franc (XAF), Polynesian Franc (XPF), Cape Verde Escudo (CVE) and Comoro Franc (KMF). Before 4.2 their rates came from PACIFIC causing non existant fluctuations against the Euro. Now these currencies behave the same as the old Euro currencies.

v4.1

• Bug fix release

v4.0

• Built-in update of exchange rates for devices with internet connectivity.

v3.5

• Support for Dynamic Input Area (DIA) on Palm, Sony and Handera devices.

v3.4:

• The currencies in the main form are now done with a table instead of individual fields. This in preparation for DIA support.
• Due to the use of a table, backward compatibility is increased. Now Currency runs on every version of Palm OS >= 2.0.
• When installing a new version all user settings and user defined currencies from a previous version are transferred correctly. This did not happen in 3.4beta.
• Color menu items are only shown on color devices.
• The "Settings/Number format" menu item now calls the Formats panel of the Preferences application directly instead of showing a form to tell you to use the Preferences app.
• Corrected the computation of the exchange rate for silver (XAG), gold (XAU) and platinum (XPT). These use inverse logic. Already implemented in the daily update (cupdate.pdb) since 2006-03-26.
• Changed some currency descriptions so country name comes first. This makes it easier to find them in the alphabetically sorted selection list. For example some people had problems finding the Israelian sheqel since it was listed as 'New Israeli Sheqel (ILS)' in 3.4beta.

v3.4b

• This is a beta release. It is the first release on Sourceforge for PalmOS 5.4.x adapted from the 3.3beta sources by Henrique S. M. Martins.
• Time Endres java conduit has also been updated to support this version of Currency.

The exchange rate update system for Currency 3.4beta is fully compatible with previous versions, which means that, if you are already using the java conduit, you can continue using it, but you have to change the URL to http://currex.sourceforge.net/cupdate.pdb
