I've loved the widget but with MTGOX circling the drain, all this widget is accomplishing is scaring my wife. "Bitcoin is only $200?!?!?!" Any chance the exchanges can be updated to something a bit more relevant?
Thanks!

Re: Apple has allowed a new wallet app, possible to get Electrum on iPhone now?
I don't like keeping my money on a phone, I feel like it's easy to compromise. I just use the old fashioned computer stored wallet, with my backups. When I know I can't be home, I just send the bitcoins to blockchain.
Agreed, shouldn't carry the entire bank roll with me on my phone, but for spending BTC when not home I think a non-web based wallet is about as secure as we can hope for. (if you want to grab something online while at work, you'll have to go through the office proxy which will bypass any https security you have with blockchain or whoever) I've got my own electrum server linked with my own bitcoind daemon so I'm relying on as few others as possible.

Topic pretty says it all. CoinJar is now on iOS, has Apple relaxed it's rules regarding wallets? Would be great to get Electrum on iOS.
Looks like it requires iOS 7, which hasn't been jailbroken yet AFAIK.
No jailbreak needed for CoinJar, it's in the app store.

Not for one's main wallet, but if you're out and about and need to spend .5 BTC on something, running home to the heavily firewalled wallet server kinda limits the User Acceptance Factor of BitCoin.
