On the other hand, by delaying an update containing important security fixes, you leave your customers sitting ducks for the next drive by download attack.
We haven't seen any major botnets infecting mobile phones yet, but I think it is just a matter of time. Desktop browsers gets updated almost instantly world wide and they still fall prey for attacks, when mobile software lags for weeks or months at a time. The more people do their online banking on their phones instead of their desktops, it gets more valuable as a target.
This problem needs a solution, and sooner rather than later.
