I am personally not a fan of mobile wallets. There's a lot that can go wrong especially on the permission side of things.

I use a mobile wallet, just like my real wallet. I only keep about ~$60 worth of bitcoins in it. If you treat it as a physical wallet, that you know there is a risk you can lose, then there should be no problems.

I would think proper mobile wallet software is crucial for ease of use. As a noob I think bitcoins have potential to fast and effortless payments, in internet as well as outside. Just requires proper infrastructure.

I guess security is the main concern.

There is no one for iPhone, right?
Does anyone knows why apple rejects wallet apps?

It would be secure for sure however the problem is when you change phone or someone steals your phone.

A login system would render it completely useless as well as it's kinda pointless now.

yeah I understand about if my phone was stolen, which is why I would encrypt the wallet and have the backup on something like dropbox. So if its stolen I could recover the wallet from any pc and the thief could not use those funds. Am I missing something?

There could be some being worked on. However I don't recommend using Mobile Wallets, what if your phone got stolen?

So on android there seems to be only really one decent wallet (not a wallet service). However, it does not have encryption or any other advanced features. Does anyone know if one is in the works?
