At first I thought Gonvert would be a simple conversion application that covers the general units. However it has a lot more, seriously A LOT MORE.

Here’s a long VERY LONG list of the different sections just to give you some idea as to how in-depth this application really is:

Acceleration
Angle
Angular Velocity / Frequency
Area
Atomic Physics
Computer Data
Computer Data flow rate
Computer Numbers
Currency (uk)
Current Loop
Density
Electrical Capacitance
Electrical Charge
Electrical Current
Electrical Inductance
Electrical Resistance & Conductance
Electrical Voltage
Electromagnetic Radiation
Energy – Work
Flow (dry)
Flow (liquid)
Force
Fuel Consumption
Illumination
Length
Luminance
Luminous Flux
Luminous Intensity (point sources)
Magnetic Field Strength
Magnetic Flux
Magnetic Flux Density
Magnetomotive Force
Mass
Musical notes
Power
Prefixes and Suffixes
Pressure and Stress
Radiation dose
Radioactivity
Shoe size
Specific Heat
Speed – Velocity
Temperature
Temperature difference
Thermal conductance (area)
Thermal conductance (linear)
Thermal resistance
Time
Torque
Viscosity (dynamic)
Viscosity (kinematic)
Volume and dry capacity
Volume and liquid capacity

That’s one hell of a list. Now each of these sections also includes every possible conversion unit. This is by far the most complex and in-depth conversion system I’ve ever seen. In terms of speed, this application runs without problems, it’s never glitched out or crashed.

I recommend you all go download and check this app out

I rate this application 5/5, definitely the ultimate physics tool.

We'll just come out and say it: this is so awesome. In fact, if you want to just take our word for it, skip the copy and head straight to the video after the break -- you really only need to watch the first four or so minutes... Still here? Alright then. The shiny cube comes straight from Espoo and houses a N900, but the only way to get into the box is to plug it into a computer, establish a link, and then type in the right terminal command to unlock the lid (spoiler: it's company motto "connecting people" -- how clever) in addition to -- poof -- smoke! (Our favorite part.) Given the technical prerequisites, our guess is this has something to do with Nokia's the hack-centric "Push" program, but really that's just a guess. Like we said, video after the break, and if you opt to watch past the first couple minutes, you'll get to see a plastic fox. Trust us.
