This would be a big step forward. Anecdotally I can report that <5% of *
non-nerds* who don't abandon Bitcoin after waiting for the initial
blockchain download and *ongoing* sync on every restart, end up using
blockchain.info simply because it just works and works on their iPads &
iPhones.
Conversely, all the serious nerds end up using Armory and/or Brainwallets
for ultimate control.
