I want to add a currency converter page to an app and I came across this: http://josscrowcroft.github.com/open-exchange-rates/ It looks like it is exactly what I need but I am struggling to figure out how to take the raw JSON data and display it on a (HTML) page in my app. This URL gives an hourly updated list of the current rates in JSON format: http://openexchangerates.org/latest.json I am fine with HTML and have done a bit of Java Script, but this is beyond me! Can anyone help? Thanks!

I guess the approach in buzztouch then, would be to have a Custom HTML or HTML screen, use the JS as indicated in the link above, and generate the page you're looking for? Worth a look I think!
