With this python application, you can check the price of one Bitcoin (currently you get the result in a console output).

At the moment, I use the BitPay API for getting the current price in US Dollar.

IN PROGRESS: Automatic price refresh every minute: Every minute, the price should be updated.
(Just for fun) SSL connection: The user should have a safe connection to the server.
Changing between exchanges: The user should be able to switch to any exchange and set it to the main one so the user will only see his preferred exchange option.
