Sometimes it is useful to be able to transfer a given amount of Bitcoins 
corresponding to some specific sum of USD or EUR or other "regular" currency. 
The classic situation is where you pay your friend in Bitcoin what you owe him 
for buying all the beers (settle the bar tap) while you have told him about how 
fantastic Bitcoin is and made him install bitcoin-wallet on his Android while 
drinking the beers... You now owe, say $30.5 worth of beer and you want to pay 
your friend in Bitcoin. 

Currently he must first leave the bitcoin-wallet app to calculate the 
equivalent amount of Bitcoin before he can make a "request bitcoins" QR code 
for you to scan to complete the payment. Since the Bitcoin exchange rates are 
already in the bitcoin-wallet, it should be easy to add the option of typing in 
amounts in "regular" currencies aside from Bitcoin. Right?

Just use the included currency calculator/conversion.
