Personally I was looking forward to it because I've never liked having to rely on Google Chrome to use the wallet. According to the Ledger Wallet team that will not be necessary anymore and not only that ... many advantages come with this new application.

• Native desktop application (Windows, macOS, Linux)
• Multi currencies (28 cryptos including Bitcoin, Altcoins, Ethereum, Ripple…)
• Multi devices (Ledger Nano S, Ledger Blue)
• Read only consultation of accounts without device (protected by optional password)
• Dashboard view of all assets
• Counter values: choice of currency & exchanges
• Send, receive, account balances & history
• Confirmation before sending funds
• On device verification of the receive address
• Faster account synchronization engine
• Easy onboarding for new users

But this is not all. Among future plans are also.

• Mobile application version (Android & iOS)
• Ledger Nano/HW.1 support
• Install/uninstall apps on Ledger Nano S automatically to smoothly manage a non limited number of cryptos on one device
• Ethereum ERC20 tokens & contract management
• Third party apps integration (buy/sell cryptocurrencies, exchanges, swaps…)
• Transaction tags & notes
• Spotlight search
• Generate more than one new address
• 100+ cryptocurrencies support

As you can read in this list of future updates, Ledger Wallet will raise the bar a lot with this new application in terms of Hardware Wallets.

For what they clarify at the end of the announcement of the new application, it will be launched on July 9, 2018, including the support of Ledger Manager. There will also be periodic updates, with priority to add support ERC20 and the mobile version is scheduled to leave the fourth quarter of 2018.

Do you also have a Ledger Wallet?

What do you think about this new application and all the advantages it brings?
