My Wallet - Bitcoins Made Easy
BlockChain.info - an online Bitcoin wallet that claims to do all the crypto in JavaScript in your browser. I was able to create an account on my PC, and access it both there and on my iPhone. I saw evidence of crypto in the JavaScript code, but it would take lots of analysis to convince myself that no unencrypted private keys are ever sent to their server. Nice to have the blockchain on their server instead of needing to download over a gigabyte to my phone, so could be useful for small transactions. Also nice that transactions go out from their server, making it harder to track them back to me. My big worry is that I see no evidence of a business plan. Free service. Only a handful of possibly paid external links. Where does their money come from?
Their code is posted at github.com/zootreeves/blockchain.info, and they have a JavaScript Verifier plugin for Firefox, Chrome, and Safari that compares the running code against GitHub to ensure that their server has not been compromised with code that will steal your wallet passphrase.

We are starting to rollout some paid services now. https://blockchain.info/wallet/sms-phone-deposits
Sponsorship from crypto exchange covers our running costs so the site is not going anywhere soon.
Thank You,
