      Just been catching up on some news and found this…

      http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/2013/08/11/android-security-vulnerability/

      It’s an android flaw rather than a wallet floor.

                  Svennand searches endlessly on the Apple App store for a wallet for ‘any’ Crypto currency, but has no joy as Apple won’t allow any! :P

                  I am still not fully sure why all of the various wallet Devs have now decided to offer a fix and use /dev/urandom instead of /dev/random (possibly to feed the peoples wants for speed and reduced sluggishness, or maybe Androids entropy pool is not sufficient enough, but sadly still at the cost of security)…

                  It’s a known fact that while slower /dev/random will produce a more ‘truer’ random data than /dev/urandom due to the latter’s ‘reuse’ of the systems internal entropy pool should the pool become exhausted, while /dev/random will simply block until further ‘new’ data can be generated from the systems sources of available entropy data.

                  Further reading can be found here:

                  http://linux.die.net/man/4/random

                  If we truly wanted to split hairs then none are ‘truly’ random when compared to say; the chaotic data of quantum effects, Eg: Of decaying radio active substances. But hay that would be one scary phone to handle, so /dev/random will have to do for now! :-D

                      Do you know for a fact that Apple do not allow crypto coin wallets?
                      If that is not the case and theres no wallets whatsoever on iOS for any crypto coin.
                      Creating a feathercoin wallet should be a TOP priority!, that would boost popularity by alot!

                          Maybe rotten but very popular!
                          Like Svennand said, maybe a FTC wallet would be an excellent addition to the apple store!

                              TBH I don’t think any developer in their right mind would spend the time and develop any Crypto wallet App for IOS, unless of course their only intention was to cater solely for the JB market.

                                  I can honestly say, i have had every iPhone since the 1st gen. I didn’t bother buying the iPhone 5 though and instead bought the galaxy S3… never looked back. Build quality isn’t as good (plasticky) but then it’s lighter and slimmer.

                                  That said, i love my iPad.

                                  For me, apple just works provided you’re happy to do it the apple way and don’t want apps that apple are scared of. But android will let a geek like me fettle with it’s intimate parts and let me have my wicked way (and maybe pick up a trojan or 2 on the way)… ;)

                                        Don’t waste your time with Samsung. I’ve owned several HTCs and haven’t had an issue.

                                            As far as tablets go I’d say iPad any day, although my kids use it not me, I always said iPhone was the best phone on the planet then I decided to finally move over to the other side at the start of the year to the Nexus4 as I feel this along with the latest generation of Android OS’s now offers everything I ever wanted in a phone and then some.
