First Voot Mobile Wallet!

I have developed a Voot specialized wallet for both android and iOS(pending apple approval).

VootMobile allows you to quickly check balances, display your address for payment, and scan QR codes and send payments. VootMobile uses the existing Voot Wallet via the JSON-RPC so your keys and the blockchain live on your desktop, rather than your phone.

For some further explanation on why I chose to develop a front-end vs a complete mobile wallet implementation,

I chose to make a remote wallet rather than a standalone one as I don't trust the existing implementations of core cryptocurrency primitives in Javascript and especially on mobile platforms. The RNG's on mobile platforms are weak and have caused serious weaknesses that have been exploited before

See https://bitcoin.org/en/alert/2013-08-11-android.

Standalone wallets also have a number of challenges such as long sync times, or reliance on a single party/central service for blockchain verification(blockchain.info)

Also, many of the existing platforms for doing web wallets or hybrid wallets do not properly implement change addresses, which compromise some of the initial anonymity goals.

My remote control solution keeps the mobile side as lightweight as possible. and ensures that mobile transactions have the same security levels as transactions sent by your PC wallet. All of the JS code is read from local storage so there is no possible way to push down an unauthorized new JS file and mass compromise wallets.
