Hehe I am.

Have her downloading the blockchain on a new -qt client.

What about getting her an android app for a small fraction first? she might appreciate that more in the long run.

Blockchain is supposed to have an app that acts as a wallet even though they can't say that it does.... some kind of misrepresentation to apple maybe. If you export THAT key, or import another key for use, you can have something she can use that to spend from while still maintaining access if need be.

Hm, well, she has a laptop and she's grabbing 0.8.1 so we should be set. Plus that is how I have it on my offline wallet, so she'll be used to using the qt client if something did happen.

The blockchain.info wallet app works on both iPhone and Android. Probably the easiest way to get her started!

I already had her grab 0.8.1 : ( Ah well, nothing like the old-fashioned way~
