hmmm, unable to download... Might be because i have the app from Cydia too, lol.
Interesting idea... I ran into the same issue. I removed the Cydia package and then the iOS version installed without a hitch. |

That is necessary for many things since Apple has designed the iOS system with large restrictions on what they can do compared with things like Android, Bada, Tizen, Meego. Those four are based on Linux, which is free and open software.
iOS is unix based too |

Seems to me like a real Bitcoin wallet...that keeps the coins on the server, not on the phone. Not a Bitcoin client. Pretty cool.

You guys should put your money where your mouth is and stop supporting Bitcoin blocking Apple. Buy some Bitcoin loving Android phone.
Except then I would have an android phone. |

So I can't have free choice and choose apple? If I choose apple then I am a zelot? The only true choice is android? Doesn't sound much like free will to me. |

If you choose apple, you also choose not to have a Bitcoin client. So you can choose between apple and Bitcoin. So don't complain once your choice was apple. Apple and their walled garden system is the same as central banks and fiat. Looks great from a distance, has some (not so) hidden drawbacks. People got so used to fiat and to be governed by apple that they have a hard time to get into Bitcoin and free open source smartphones. |

Or you choose to jailbreak your phone, or you choose to have a separate QR code reader, or you choose to build your app from source with xcode. I'm cool with that, and trust me, I do open source. Now you like Android, good for you I respect your choice, I'll personnally pass for now thank you very much. |

We're both right Do Unix programs/apps run on Android or Meego? I really like Tizen also. Do Unix apps run on that one? |

You are free to choose But if you choose a fail thing then other ppl will notice your choice and react based on that. Buying iphone is so much fail. A Galaxy S3 with the latest version of android is so much much much better. |

So your choice would be Windows with a MacOS theme instead of MacOS? Now you like Android, good for you I respect your choice, I'll personnally pass for now thank you very much.
I like real freedom, instead of hacks that taste a little bit like freedom. |

Seeing as this thread is already way off topic, I figured I'd throw in my two cents. I want a phone that works. I do not like that an arbitrary decision can be made to exclude a program, however, that's the price I'm willing to pay to have my phone just work. Bitcoin is bigger than Apple. Whether Apple realizes this or not is irrelevant.
P.S., I didn't type this and I'm posting from my iPhone.

Is the wallet app still available on Apple's official app store and still fully functional (able to send and receive coins)? Can someone with an iPhone please confirm?
Is Apple changing its tune? Was (re)allowing the fully-functional app a mistake? Will Apple's mobile payment platform, Passport, due with iOS5 officially support Bitcoin? </rampant_speculation>
