Calculator

The Calculator allows you to perform basic arithmetic operations - addition, 
subtraction, multiplication and division. You can enter an arbitrary long expression 
with as many numbers and operators as you want. Once you select the equation 
symbol the result of the expression is presented. The result of the previous 
expression can be used in the next expression as the first number if after being 
presented with the result you continue with a mathematical operator.

Unit converter

The Unit converter allows you to convert physical units of area, angle, fuel 
consumption, digital memory, energy, length, mass, power, pressure, speed, time, 
temperature, and volume. The application supports both metric and imperial units. 
After you choose, which type of units you wish to convert, you can select the input 
and output unit from the list of supported units and fill the numerical value of the 
input unit. Note that units can be swapped by choosing the output unit the same as 
the input unit and vice versa. Confirmation of the "Convert" item will show the 
result.

Weather

The Weather application shows the current temperature in your area and a forecast 
for the upcoming three days. You can also access a detailed forecast for each of 
those days by selecting a day. This detailed forecast shows temperature, wind 
speed, cloudiness, humidity, and atmospheric pressure for every three hours of the 
day, from two in the morning until eleven in the evening.

Unit settings

The "Unit settings" item in the menu allows for changing used units of temperature, 
wind speed, and atmospheric pressure.

Forecast in different city

The weather forecast does not have to be shown only for your current location, but 
you can search for another location via this menu item.

Dictionary

The Dictionary application can be used to look up translations of words or phrases in 
different languages on-line. Select the source and target language, enter the word 
to be translated and then use the "Translate" menu item to retrieve a translation. 
The format of the result may differ depending on the selected language 
combination. Some combinations only support returning a single result while others 
will return a list of multiple definitions with synonyms and possible translations, 
including information about parts of speech and grammatical gender.

Appropriate text-to-speech voices are used for readback of words in foreign 
languages. To get the spelling of the word, you can use the spelling function 
(double-tap with two fingers).
