An interesting development occurred last week: It was reported that Apple’s new patent application would help iPhone owners recover or possibly wipe their lost or stolen devices.

Apple’s recently updated iOSÂ to 4.0.2 to address the vulnerability to malicious PDFs. (The patch also prevented devices from using the ridiculously easy hack offered by JailbreakMe.com.)
