@Ops Its not that they are afraid, its that they know iPhone OS 4.0 and the new iPhone is due to hit very soon and they dont want to give Apple any chance to close the holes they are using to get into the current 3.x software.
@Ops I think you guys are missing the point. 4.0 is a significant upgrade. The 4.1.blahblah upgrades are not. If I had an iPad, I would definitely want to upgrade to 4.0., but I would be perfectly happy not to download a 4.1 upgrade that offered very little added usability, and mostly only patched the hole that these guys are using (which is all most Apple iPhone upgrades do, let's be honest. Sometimes they add a few features, but most are not significant by any measure. Mostly, they just "break" the jailbreaks).
If they release it now, I wouldn't be able to have both a jailbroken device and 4.0 for some time. If they wait, I can have both very close to the instant 4.0 is out.
During his WWDC keynote, Steve Jobs touted iCloud as a service that will sync many of your Apple devices, for free. Macs, iPhones, iPads, and even Windows computers can synchronize documents, contacts, calendar appointments, and other data.
