Instawallet is available also in HTML5 version for mobile devices, with the option to create an Instawallet Passbook on your iPhone (new feature of iOS 6).

Added, as well as Instawallet. Usability tests still pending.
Easywallet seams to have many more features than instawallet, which I like. Hope I also trust you some day like I trust instawallet (for whatever reason
).
And how about the fees? Also: Would you sell me BTC at 5$?
The Scan QR Code button doesnot work on my Motorola Defy but it works on my Motorola XT531. Edit: The defy was just slow. 2 minutes slow. Else the QR-Code integration is cool
The page seams a bit lengthy:

For the trust part I want just to say that we are a registered company in Finland, and I as the head of that company am public person - for example, I have been organizing the bitcoin hackathon events and I was also a speaker at last bitcoin conference.
The fees are now fixed 0.002 BTC per outgoing bitcoin transaction (bitcoin network fee included), transactions between easywallet.org instances are free and instant (also more privacy, no real bitcoin transaction is generated). Features like dead mans switch and coupons have their own fees.
We will try to make the page shorter & less text-heavy.
I personally will definitely have more an eye on easywallet now. Instawallet re-vamped their design just recently and I expect them to copy some of your features. I use instawallet mainly to show people with a smart-phone how easy they can accept bitcoins right away but also send instawallets by mail keeping a bookmark to collect the full BTC after some months after announcing to collect it after "one month or so". Your dead-man switch and coupon codes might be more elegant for the latter. The former is nicer with instawallet though as instawallet seams to long-poll for incoming coins.

I was kind of surprised to see Spinner is not the most successful according to the market numbers.
...
The public market numbers just show how many have downloaded the app. The numbers do not show how many still have it on their device, or whether they use it.I was kind of surprised to see Spinner is not the most successful according to the market numbers.

Spinner was not around during the big bubble last year, as it was made public some time in November 2011. My guess is that many entered and left during the bubble.
Jan, out of curiosity - can you tell how many unique devices connect to your servers?

Being an Android dev myself, I know that. Still downloads is the closest guess you get publicly. Other apps might be more popular for people compiling themselves or maybe some app is booming on the kindle. Or maybe even easywallet could be successful on the iPhone. Who knows. Sorry for guessing
Paytunia app for Android is the simplest and fastest (PIN code can be set optionnally)
Too bad it's not on the list.

I assume you are affiliated as simpler and faster than Spinner seams doubtful to me and for my wallet, simple and fast is not the main argument. How about secure and open source?
I use our wallet app easywallet.org - it works as easily as a native app, and recently we introduced one-tap payment -functionality. This is handy in the restaurant I go to, which accepts bitcoins.
Of course this kind of low-security hosted wallet is only suitable for small pocket change. I use it for small payments between friends, and to pay for my lunch in my favourite bitcoin-accepting restaurant, vegemesta

I use Mt. Gox for trading and transferring money to my real address(es).
I use blockchain for my wallet.
I really like how blockchain is set up. I wish there was a bit more security on that app though. Mt. Gox has a PIN, and that's alright.

Isn't there an Electrum Android wallet app? I haven't used it since I don't have a smart phone. But someday I will - not much demand for it out here in the rice fields. Maybe that should be on the poll list?
link? I searched google play market for bitcoin and went through the 4 pages of results adding every app that looked like a "use this to send and receive bitcoins with your android" app. (I was surprised to see the blockchain app was actually based on Schildbach's app.)
spinner has a PIN code, and it's fast.
the others are either slow (harder to use or need some time to fetch the blockchain) or don't have a pin.

I have been using blockchain... sounds like I should try out spinner. Tried mtgox but it would not work properly on my Galaxy S3 in Canada.
