Nothing but a hype coin maybe even a scam. Been 6 months since ICO and they have not produced any real product or news/partnerships except for that hyped "rebrand." Don't hold your breathe on the wallet being released on time.

Team never delayed the project, the Universal Wallet is scheduled for Q1 2018. You can find here https://t.me/ethos_io/42251 the features that will be launched according to their CEO.

Additionally you can find more details about Ethos vision and how it works: https://medium.com/@shingolavine/balancing-decentralization-purpose-utility-of-ethos-tokens-within-an-inclusive-financial-3100bd8e9267


Hope their universal wallet will be able to store new promising coins, I have seen too many wallets that have the same currencies so you really don't need a product that doesn't offer anything new ( wallet for the ripples, moneros, ethereums...) but not the new ones that usually are the most promising ones ( like the future hard fork of zclassic: bitcoin private https://btcprivate.org/?lang=en ). At the moment my favorite wallet is MyEtherWallet with many tokens in it, but I would love a really universal wallet. But with so many new coins daily I wonder how a universal wallet can be updated as fast as the coins appear.

The great advantage of the Ethos Universal Wallet will be trust: private keys will never be held on Ethos side, so ledger nano will become redundant/obsolete.

Hello this is from the ethos WP :  When you build your personalized coin basket, you will be given an estimated cost and amount of underlying assets securing your investment. All investments are secured 1:1 by underlying assets.

Does this mean you cant really own your 'real' coins in your wallet and you will get a representative of that asset like with bitshares? And how will currencies be tradable against each other? Will this be done on the ethos blockchain ?

I honestly don't know the answer for your question as I'm not part of the team. However, please join https://t.me/ethos_io and @EthosStephen  Stephen Corliss which is Ethos Chief Global Strategist will answer.
