This update was predicted by many after a security expert, Charlie Miller won the Pwn2Own contest by revealing an exploit that would grant a hacker access to a users contact list after the user had surfed to a rigged website.

iOS 4.3.1 has been released this week as was expected. And we just wanted to remind everyone to hold off on updating if they want to jailbreak or unlock. This warning goes to iPad2 users as well.
