If you have any suggestions let me know.

mate pretty much spot on,, only suggestion is making the home screen icon less pixiled?? only thing i can improve on... and thats me being harsh!

its very good i do allot of sports that depend on weight and length so its great for me. fed up of carry crumpled peaces of paper with conversion scales on it.

Hello. Sure i will change that homescreen icon , i just need to figure it out the exact size, since this is my first application developed for blackberry.
But i will change it and i will announce you.

Looks like a quality little application, Thanks

Today I discovered that the BB calculator has a basic converter. You just need to input the numbers, hit the Menu button and select "To Metric" or "From Metric".

Yes i know there is , but is way to basic compared to minne

That's what I said: it's basic. Yours it's still better. ;)

Moving to the Aftermarket Software Section.

this is neat! itl help in my lab classes.. thanks =)

Is this application limited to only that one model of BB? Or could it work on the 8830?

miles to feet doesnt work correctly. first one i tried, just letting you know.

Hello. I did not try it on other models, you can try it and if it does not work, just let me know and i will make it work ok ?
What do you think ?

I will give it a shot later in the day....

It works on the 8830.

Suggestion - if one were to generally use only one conversion, say distance, maybe have the PROCEED at the top so you do not have to scroll down each time.

Also, I don't know about different devices, but on the 8830, to enter NUMBERS you have to press Alt-letter. You can "number lock" but maybe the program could automatically convert the keypresses to numeric?

Hello.
I will release today a new version with improoved homescreen icon and with your suggestion. Also i am thinking to totaly remove the proceed button, so when you'll clkick the radio button, you are redirected automaticaly.
So stay close

Hello everyone.
A new release for JConverter is available.
Some improovements :
- improoved homescreen icon
- PROCEED button no no longer available
- clicking on a radio button will take to the the desired conversion
- text field is now filtered to accept numbers only ( negative and decimals )

I think one of the conversions is off. I know that it's .621 miles to a kilometer, yet when I put it in, I don't get that.

Hello yes u are right, i just checked and the conversion is not correct for this case. I will fix it ASAP.
Yhank you !

Hello everyone, Thanks to Michael.Bauer.127 who discovered a bug in the LENGTH conversion.
This bug is now fixed.
Sorry for any troubles.
Please update your application !

It's for land miles.
For naval miles it's .540 to a kilometer. Did you get that result?

Thanks for this app. Seems to work fine on my Curve 8330. One request I have for your next update. Could you add inches of H2O to the pressure section. I like to be able to convert from PSI to in of H2O and vice versa.

Hello
Sorry but i dont understand your request:
you would like to convert PSI to Inch and viceversa ?
( just let me know and you will get it with the next update )

Sorry, I should have been more clear. To convert from inches of water to PSI, multiply by 0.036. To convert from PSI to inches of water, multiply by 27.7. Inches of water is a measurement of pressure used in industry, like the water in a storage tank. For example, 3 PSI = 83.1 inH20 or 150 mmHg (which you already have in your list).

Hello. Thank you for explanations.
You will have it in the next update.
I will inform you on private and also on the forum.

Thanks JKoder. This is a really handy app.

this works great but am getting wrong conversion for length. 450 meters = 1476 feet. it is calculating it as 177 feet ????? the length calculations are all wrong.

Feet to inches seems to be incorrect as well. Meters to inches as well. I have only installed the initial download (first post) so these may have been fixed...?

Yea, I posted this already. Guess the op didn't see it.

mm to inches seems to be off by one order of magnitude. it says 25.4 mm = 10 inches. it should be 25.4 mm = 1 inches.
