i'm starting to lose a little faith in ledger overall. it looks like they're letting the ledger blue die but haven't definitively told anyone yet.

I have recently seen a reddit post about it. No one from staff replied, I can't find it anymore. Two resellers of Ledger hardware included information on their website that Ledger discontinued Blue model. As far as I know, Ledger does not accept pre-orders for that model. I'm not surprised, who needed such big screen, Bluetooth and even battery in device which can't work without a computer? Release of Trezor T might have forced Ledger to create something better. A lot of people love Ledger for huge amount of altcoins available in their wallet. I would rather have a stable app which works all the time or at least lets me change the node like Trezor do.

Well, last year they were saying that they would release new software by the end of the year. Now, it's Q2 2018, I wouldn't be surprised if there were delays. However, I have to admit that mobile application looks great.

Good riddance... I have never really liked the need to use the Chrome app, it's the only thing I don't like with Ledger, it looks like a cheap solution because they didn't know how to create a native application. Need to install firstly an app to install the crypto plugins and use another one to use the wallet, it's like to tinker

Great move by Ledger it's hassle to download different apps for different set of coins that you are storing.

Bitcoin has its own app, others alt has its own alts. It's wasting a storage/memory although it's not that big but its inconvenient.

Do you mean the Chrome Apps or the on-device "wallet apps"? As, I get the impression that you'll still need to have the "wallet apps" on the device itself... it is just that the Chrome apps are being removed and you'll have a single application on your desktop (and/or mobile device) that you use to display your balances etc...

I'm talking about those chrome apps.

Imagine that there's a separated app for bitcoin/bitcoin cash and alts, for eth itself and ripple alone.

Refer to this part of the announcement:

Install/uninstall apps on Ledger Nano S automatically to smoothly manage a non limited number of cryptos on one device

So, the multiple on-device apps are still going to be used... they're just going to try and automate the process of loading them onto the device for you...

I see, thanks for the reference.

Be aware of that fake twitter account LedgerHQ_admin which is offer 5000 ETH to users,but only if you send some ETH first to "validate address".

Obviously it's a fake one and they are not the only one who has been faked out, I've seen other fake accounts copying famous crypto celebrity like Justin Sun, Charlie, Binance, etc.

Finally something good from Ledger,I think this will be a great move.Although I believe they are forced to do this because Google is announced long time ago that they will discontinue working on apps for Chrome,and time is come for that.

Still need to be seen how the job will be done,I personally do not expect everything to work well in the beginning.During time I use Ledger they have some problems with servers and now with SSL expiration which only shows that they do not think in advance.

Correct.

This might be their move for this tweet https://twitter.com/LedgerHQ/status/960631013415190528

Also the announcement is published on their twitter account https://twitter.com/LedgerHQ/status/966973349497917442

i hope they get their act together properly.
