No, the currency doesn't convert. It is a little annoying, but I think it's an aesthetic thing. I think they don't want someone saying "why is this app here 99 cents, and this other one is $1.54? That's a weird number!

Tom, I do think much of what you're seeing is Samsung screwups. That's not an excuse for that phone at all, though, and I fully admit that. The stuff you mention about what's exposed to the user doesn't worry me either. You have to dig a little deep to get to that, don't you? I don't know why a regular user would care about that stuff or even find their way there. And even if they did, I don't think they can screw their phone up with it...
