Apple has issued a new iOS update version 4.0.2 that fixes the PDF vulnerability issue that puts your iPhone at risk.

Keeping hackers at bay sounds good but the trade of here is that you can’t jailbreak your phone via web browser. The jailbreak also exploits the similar vulnerability that’s fixed with this version.

This update for iPhone and iPod touches can be downloaded via iTunes.

It’s now almost close to a month after Google made Froyo public and yet the only phone that has so far been able to download and use the latest Android OS is Google’s very own Nexus One.

We’re not sure what’s the holdup but Google’s delay in release 2.2 into Android’s now very rich and diverse ecosystem is only going to be detrimental to them. At the very least, there is a great deal of confusion amongst owners of Android devices as to if and when will Froyo be available for their device.

With very little word from Google, we’ll just have to play the guessing game and look for possible clues that can point us in the right direction as to which devices will get Froyo and which will not.

Since Froyo, Android’s latest OS version is revealed, people have started asking, when will they get it on their phones? Android is popular of having variety of OS versions in such a short period of time which poses a problem when it comes to app compatibility. The pioneer Android users are often stuck on Android 1.6 and this limits the potential of what today’s Android could offer.

HTC in the other hand had sort of answered that question to Pocket-Lint that Android handsets released this year may be getting their Android 2.2 Froyo soon but perhaps in the 2nd half of this year. Not too bad if it can happen this year as many existing handsets are only getting their 2.1 updated by then.

Details are sketchy at this moment of time but potentially HTC Legend, Desire, Incredible and EVO 4G are likely models to get the update this year.

Obviously this is a great step of allowing existing users to have room for upgrade as it can be a big turn off for buyers who are in the market for an Android device. An official upgrade announcement from HTC will be most assuring.
