simple: don't use apple! go get a throw away and do yourself a favor
I just tried it and it works.
Created an online wallet on blockchain.info and paired it with my iPhone 4
Send btc from an exchange to the wallet (showed after one confirmation online as well as on iPhone).
Sent from iPhone to desktop client (ok - got an email confirmation that it is on the way / 30 min ago and it's not there yet but I'm hopeful)
So far so good.

I don't think Apple is evil, but their walled garden approach to the app store can definitely be a PITA. I really wish that had a "I know what I'm doing and don't need you to protect me" system setting that would allow installing apps outside the store w/o having to jailbreak...
Blockchain app is in the Canadian iTunes store..
but not usa?

Apple is simply pure evil. They have always been worse than Microsoft. They always will be.
But Android is NOT the answer to an open system. Yeah, it's better, but not much.
Android presents the ILLUSION of an open system, but if you dig deeper, your phone isn't open.
Bitcoin is antithetical to everything Apple, and is a threat to the Android ecosystem as it is now. Android presents better options, but... those are mostly unrealistic.

Ubuntu's releasing phones pretty soon. Hopefully these will be just as open as their desktop OS; if not, it's basically android.

Gotto love apple 
Blockchain app on cydia is great. Just what I was looking for. Thanks!
Apple hates everything. They don't even like their own customers enough to make their phones last longer than a couple of years.
Bitcoin is 'open' and Apple is not... Reason is control. Can't make enough money on it or it threatens proprietary bus plans.

Been looking at various androids for this reason alone, but I am neer techno savvy, can anyone make a suggestion?
hmm, the blockchain app is in the app store in australia.
That's the crippled version. They removed the wallet functionality to get it accepted.
I can access my wallet with it and have the option to send funds - maybe it works if you create your account via the web site first as I did.
or maybe I have an old version but I only downloaded it like a month ago.
Get an Android smartphone 
I got a feeling they are afraid of alternative currencies since they cant charge, they ban. Android is the way to go

So jailbreak, bitch. There's a blockchain app on Cydia.
Don't you know, Apple hates Bitcoin.
Not just bitcoin. Their developer rules prohibit apps that trade in any virtual currency. It fits with their general strategy of trying to force all e-commerce through iTunes where they get a 30% cut. The only way around the restriction is to use the web browser, which they can't reasonably limit.
