Links to Android and OS X wallets now point to Hive's web wallet.

So current traffic from bitcoin.org is basically redirected to a web wallet that hasn't been submitted in a pull request, users expect the OS X or Android app and get the web app instead.

In the absence of critical feedback, this pull request will be merged on June 28th.

@jsuder If you want to keep your OS X app listed, can you provide a dedicated page for Hive OS X?

Yeah, sorry about that - we've noticed the problem too, but didn't have the time to fix it yet. We were planning to bring back the old page on a different URL like hivewallet.com/mac and send you a pull request to update it. Hopefully I'll be able to do that early next week.

As for the Android app link - I think it's fine if it links to Google Play directly. /cc @javgh

@saivann: How about just changing the link to https://hivewallet.com/#native for both apps instead? That drops the visitor right to the "Other Hive products" section.

Otherwise, as far as Android is concerned, linking to Google Play is definitely fine!

@jsuder @javgh I have just updated the OS X link to point to the anchor for now, although I agree a dedicated page would be important to have soon, even if just for relevance for the user and fairness for other web wallets listed. Thanks!

FYI, we had a discussion about this today and we've decided that we don't want to show the old page with old branding anymore because it's more confusing this way. We'll make a completely new page for Hive OS X in near future, but we're very busy with post-release fixes in Hive Web at the moment, so I'm not sure when that will be exactly. For now I hope it's ok if the link stays like it is, linking to the anchor in the footer where the OS X and Android apps are mentioned.
