<br />[<a href="http://www.vimeo.com/8157582">Vimeo Video link</a>]</p>

<p>Pastebot [$1.99 - <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/id344614116?mt=8">iTunes link</a>], the delicious-looking new clipboard manager from <a href="http://www.imore.com/tag/tapbots/">Tapbots</a> brings their flare for fantastic, and fantastically original user interface to iPhone and iPod touch cut, copy, and paste. (And, yes, insert &#8212; it took Apple 2 years and a 3.0 to give iPhone users the much-requested clipboard function to begin with &#8212; sarcasm here).</p>

<p>The usage case is simple and elegant &#8212; anything you&#8217;ve copied or cut to the iPhone clipboard is automatically added to Pastebot when you launch the app. Up to 99 such clippings can be stored at any one time, and inside Pastebot you can title them, organize them into folders (for example, keep email boilerplate handy), copy them back to the clipboard, share them (including via embedded email, which makes that boilerplate incredibly functional), search them (on Google), and even run some automated actions on them like changing case, decoding and encoding HTML, find and replace, quote, etc. Images can also be brightened, converted to B&amp;W, inverted, etc. And Mac users can get the free desktop companion for sync&#8217;y goodness as well.</p>

<p>TiPb was able to try it out for a few days already, and I liked it enough to run out and buy it on launch (disclosure &#8212; I&#8217;m an easy mark for great design and functionality).</p>

<p>Like <a href="http://www.imore.com/tag/weightbot/">Weightbot</a> and <a href="http://www.imore.com/tag/convertbot/">Convertbot</a> before it, Pastebot is a powerhouse in a delightful robot candy shell. By the same token, some may argue Tapbots trades speed-of-use for joy-to-use and that&#8217;s certainly valid. If you didn&#8217;t appreciate the robotic gimmick of their previous fare, you likely won&#8217;t enjoy it here either. However, if you&#8217;re serious about your clipboard <em>and</em> love you some innovative interface, check out Pastebot and let us know what you think.</p>

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

<p>First, they&#8217;ve given us five (5) Promo Codes for their latest greatest unit converter, <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=308928075&amp;mt=8" target="_blank">Convertbot</a> [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.</p>

<p>But wait, there&#8217;s more! They&#8217;ve also given us five (5) Promo Codes for their classic weight tracker, 
<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=293642937&amp;mt=8" target="_blank">Weightbot</a> [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&#8230;)</p>

<p>Want a chance to get either one of them &#8212; or if pure random luck comes your way &#8212; both of them, for FREE? Head on over to our forum and post your reply in the <a href="http://forum.theiphoneblog.com/iphone-apps-games/170972-tipb-give-away-convertbot.html">Convertbot Give Away</a> and/or <a href="http://forum.theiphoneblog.com/iphone-apps-games/170971-tipb-give-away-weightbot.html">Weightbot Give Away</a> threads.</p>

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

<p>Tapbot was kind enough to give us a sneak-peak at <a href="http://tapbots.com/convertbot/">Convertbot</a>, 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 <a href="http://www.imore.com/2008/11/03/tipb-interview-weightbot-developers-mark-jardine-paul-haddad-discuss-iphone-interface-innovation/">interview</a>).</p>

<p>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&#8217;re ready to go. (You can also tap the center button to change the direction of conversion at any time &#8212; i.e., miles to km, km to miles).</p>

<p>Rather then the generic keypad, Convertbot drops down it&#8217;s wheel to reveal a custom job, complete with backspace.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s a simple application done with a lot of care and consideration. It&#8217;s the kind of app we need more of. Full gallery after the break.</p>

<p>Convertbot is now available for $0.99 via the <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=308928075&#038;mt=8">iTunes App Store</a>. </p>
