We don't have all the details yet.  But you can keep posted on the forum.

There is also a Smartphone section in the forum here: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=65103.120 for security, updates, news, etc. that you may want to check out as well.

Symbian is dead, though i love it, Nokia is dicontinuing it's symbian developing, so i don't think there will be a symbian version of avast.

The Free Avast for PC's that is available now will remain if that is what you are asking.  As to what will be coming out for smartphones...as posted, you will have to wait for the announcement.

AVG offers free and paid for android, which right now is what i have to use,
I would bet that Avast will offer the same....a free and premium version.

Another indication that a Google buyout of Avast might happen down the road. :)

As I have heard, symbian is popular (larger than the rest mobile OS together), but in decline.

Since version 9 (or so) all applications have to be signed, so applications will either be from trusted source, or will have to go through computer for signing (where those could be checked by computers antivirus). Anyway, i have never encountered viruses on symbian (used nokia n70 for 3 years and e52 for half year).
This method would not work with "app stores", where only way to get app into device is download from specific centralized mobile formatted website (app store).

So, any desktop computer antivirus can check mobile (symbian, android, etc) apps for viruses?
