What does Bitcoin have? easywallet.org, an online Bitcoin wallet which, by being bookmarkable, means that it's usable a) on iProducts (Apple routinely hunts down and kills any Bitcoin apps in the Appstore) and b) means that you don't have to install anything if you don't want to: https://easywallet.org/en/bitcoin_for_iphone Coinapult, which lets you send Bitcoins via text messages: https://coinapult.com/sms-wallet blockchain.info, which not only has an excellent Android app but also has what seem to be fairly easy to use web-based APIs for transactions: https://blockchain.info/api There are very easy to use apps out there.
