Having taken the wraps off the new Nokia X family, Stephen Elop also took the opportunity to announce that BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) would be headed to Windows Phone, along with Adobe Photoshop Express. The instant messaging service, which only arrived for iOS and Android a few months back after years as a BlackBerry-only feature, will be releasing a version for the Windows Phone Store in due course, although at this moment, it is unclear as to when exactly it will become available.
By now I am sure most of you will be aware of iOS 7.0.6 which was released by Apple only a few days ago to patch critical SSL connection verification vulnerability that can expose your device to man-in-the-middle attacks. All versions below 7.0.6 are affected by this bug.
