avast has dropped the PDA development to a very low priority...
"The myriad various architectures and platforms make it difficult for a malware author to target a big number of devices," says Ondrej Vlcek, chief technology officer of Avast. "It's just not worth the hassle to create a virus that will only target a platform with [a small] market share."David Goldschlag, VP of Mobile for McAfee, agrees. "People chase the money. [Malware] either targets large platforms or very specialized targets. Smartphones kind of live in the middle. They aren't a lot of them relative to PCs, and they're not managing critical infrastructure."
