The issue seems to affect all devices running versions of Android prior to 2.3.3 and is related to handling of the authentication protocol ClientLogin.

Other features that aren’t necessarily huge were also announced, like the ability to resize widgets. This small but useful feature was on the list of things [...]

Apple has been pushing iOS firmware updates to the iDevices via their popular iTunes application for the longest. When a new software update is available, users need to plug their device in via USB, click update, and the new software version is downloaded and installed.
