There's news on the Ledger Nano S front: The all-in-one desktop application is coming on july 9th, and Monero (XMR) can finally be stored on the device through the CLI interface.

DESKTOP APPLICATION

It has been known [that Ledger has been working on a desktop application for some time now](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@pandorasbox/finally-the-new-all-in-one-ledger-nano-s-desktop-and-mobile-wallets-are-coming), but after many months we're all still waiting on it. Fortunately Ledger released some news and announced a release date for the much anticipated all-in-one desktop wallet application: July 9th. ![ledger app tweet.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTBs5vtgn61pC7h4TBo8SohEdAHiTAJuKk1aYVGbpBZvq/ledger%20app%20tweet.png) (source: [Twitter](https://twitter.com/LedgerHQ/status/1003944606868832256)) The new desktop application is highly anticipated because it finally will offer an all-in-one solution for all the wallets on the device. Right now the cryptocurrencies stored on the device need to be accessed through individual applications, but the new desktop app will combine all cryptocurrencies and make them accessible through a single app. Ledger released some pictures of the new all-in-one app a few months ago, and it looks to be great both visually as well in user experience. ![ledger dashboard-1.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmW9E4Nd5NPzKQRE6gv9RVBtdUWmCHbEXpF9t6CyM8Gcjx/ledger%20dashboard-1.jpg) I personally can't wait. This is one wallet that I've been waiting on. The only wallet that I am kind of _more_ eagerly awaiting is [the Morpheus Wallet](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@pandorasbox/a-bunch-of-different-neo-news-neo-will-become-divisible-morpheus-wallet-new-neon-wallet), which offers much of the same but also adds in-wallet-trading options. ![dividerline cartooney3.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTdTogEsBP64wtTZD38triu4bHkmhUaGgnSNLYPLPwg34/dividerline%20cartooney3.png)

MONERO LEDGER UPDATE

More news surrounding Monero (XMR)'s Ledger Nano S implementation too: It's finally here! Sort of, anyway. The news is somewhat dampened by the fact that currently it **is** possible to store Monero on a Ledger but _only_ through the Command-Line Interface (CLI) version of the Monero Wallet. The actual Monero GUI still needs updating before it will work with the Ledger, and this is still some days off. ![monero tweet ledger.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZyUzck212iqRwkBw96PC2Jb7foScknxwte41jeMzkq9H/monero%20tweet%20ledger.png) (source: [Twitter](https://twitter.com/LedgerHQ/status/1003944606868832256)) If you're tech savvy enough you could give the CLI interface a try, but for most users I recommend waiting on the Monero GUI (graphical user-interface). The difference between the two is that the CLI is simply a command-line screen like MS-DOS, which is complex for most non-tech people. The Monergo GUI is, as it's abbreviation implies, a graphical application with which you can access Monero. Most people generally use the GUI. The news does mean that the Monero GUI will be updated soon as well though. Since the base-work is done on the CLI it should be primarily the graphical interface alterations that still remain. [According to dEBRUYNE_1, a moderator on the Monero Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/8ok4hg/v01220_binaries_released/) the Monero GUI will probably be released later this week. ![dividerline cartooney3.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTdTogEsBP64wtTZD38triu4bHkmhUaGgnSNLYPLPwg34/dividerline%20cartooney3.png) If you're invested into crypto, I highly recommend a Ledger Nano S hardware wallet for both safety as well as ease-of-use. And with the addition of the all-in-one app it should be easier than ever before to use the device. I recommend anyone who has more than $500 worth of crypto to invest in one of these: it has been my best crypto investment I have ever made. The security and ease-of-use it offers are priceless.
