No bitcoin IOS App? Why???

Apple is simply pure evil. They have always been worse than Microsoft. They always will be.

But Android is NOT the answer to an open system. Yeah, it's better, but not much.

Android presents the ILLUSION of an open system, but if you dig deeper, your phone isn't open.

Bitcoin is antithetical to everything Apple, and is a threat to the Android ecosystem as it is now. Android presents better options, but... those are mostly unrealistic.

Ubuntu's releasing phones pretty soon.  Hopefully these will be just as open as their desktop OS; if not, it's basically android.

I don't think Apple is evil, but their walled garden approach to the app store can definitely be a PITA. I really wish that had a "I know what I'm doing and don't need you to protect me" system setting that would allow installing apps outside the store w/o having to jailbreak...

I just tried it and it works.

Created an online wallet on blockchain.info and paired it with my iPhone 4

Send btc from an exchange to the wallet (showed after one confirmation online as well as on iPhone).

Sent from iPhone to desktop client (ok - got an email confirmation that it is on the way / 30 min ago and it's not there yet but  I'm hopeful)

So far so good.

Confirming that blockchain wallet is available and working on iOS, in Canada.  Been able to send and receive coin.
