Nic Cary Teases New Blockchain Wallet For Apple iOS
Nicolas Cary, CEO of Blockchain (not to be confused with the bitcoin block chain), has taken to the Twitter-waves to tease the company's brand-spanking-new Blockchain Wallet application for Apple iOS devices. "Reddit asks. Reddit gets," Cary's tweet read with a sneak peak screenshot: Cary's tweet today comes just a couple of weeks following Apple's reveal of iOS 8 - the latest iteration of the company's mobile operating system.

Less than an hour ago, Apple pulled Blockchain.info's iPhone app from the App Store without any specific reason. The email that Blockchain CEO Nicolas Cary received stated that the app had been "removed from the App Store due to an unresolved issue." Interestingly, Blockchain was the only Bitcoin wallet app on the App Store, as other wallet apps such as Coinbase were yanked last year. So at the moment, it looks like there are absolutely no Bitcoin wallet apps on the App Store. So much for that teaser from a few days ago. Coming soon? Probably not at this rate. In response to their app's....
