The totally titanic team at Tapbot have gone above and beyond for TiPb readers with this one!

First, they’ve given us five (5) Promo Codes for their latest greatest unit converter, Convertbot [iTunes link], a sweet app with a stunning interface, designed to make the admittedly tedious task of converting one measurement into a another a deliciously tactile, actually enjoyable experience.

But wait, there’s more! They’ve also given us five (5) Promo Codes for their classic weight tracker, Weightbot [iTunes link], a great app with a gorgeous interface, and just in time (again!) for bikini season (or whatever the rest of you wear to work…)

Want a chance to get either one of them — or if pure random luck comes your way — both of them, for FREE? Head on over to our forum and post your reply in the Convertbot Give Away and/or Weightbot Give Away threads.

(As always, to use Promo Codes, you need access to the US App Store).

Tapbot was kind enough to give us a sneak-peak at Convertbot, their latest app, which converts units of power, pressure, speed, temperature, time, volume, work, angle, area, currency, length, and mass with the same kind of fun, fantastic interface they brought to their previous app, Weightbot (see our interview).

Rotate the wheel, old-school iPod style, to pick your category, tap to lock in the first unit, confirm, tap to lock in the second unit, confirm that, and you’re ready to go. (You can also tap the center button to change the direction of conversion at any time — i.e., miles to km, km to miles).

Rather then the generic keypad, Convertbot drops down it’s wheel to reveal a custom job, complete with backspace.

It’s a simple application done with a lot of care and consideration. It’s the kind of app we need more of. Full gallery after the break.

Convertbot is now available for $0.99 via the iTunes App Store.
