Wow. Epic misreporting. The iPad may be vulnerable to any number of the bugs fixed in iOS 4. The iPad will get iOS 4 in Fall. It does not follow from those two statements that the iPad will remain vulnerable until Fall.

The reporting isn't so bad. But the headline writing is atrocious.

Unlike iPhone/iTouch, iPad runs iOS 3.2, which I'm assuming includes some or all of the bugfixes that are part of 4.0. Of course this is pure speculation like the original article, though - if anyone has a detailed 3.2 and 4.0 changelist, please post it.

"Most of the patched vulnerabilities were in WebKit"

reading this makes me not want to use webkit, which includes google chrome. maybe i'll go back to firefox.

Chrome probably has the fastest update rate of current web browsers, their articles on updates using compressed binary diffs are worth a read: http://dev.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/software...

I hate how the page scrolls me down to the "sponsored links" section upon loading.

Would be nice if these holes, and subsequently articles pointing them out, caused Apple to release iOS4 early to iPad owners, rather than back porting the bug fixes. It's higly unlikely that it'll budge their schedule, but it would be a welcomed move!
