Nokia anti-virus phones
p2pnet.net News:- Nokia says it`s working with F-Secure and Symantec with a view to building anti-virus software into its new multimedia smartphones.
It fears, emerging breeds of phone viruses will block users’ access to thousands of paid-for music tracks or movies, says New Scientist.
“Today, the threat from phone viruses is more theoretical than real,” Kari Tuutti, a director of Nokia’s multimedia division is quoted as saying, “but as phones become more like computers the threat may become more concrete.”

Money! Money! Money!
Why is it that the idea of a virus infecting my phone makes me worry about my contacts, or malicious use of my account. Not the inability to watch 200pixels square video clips.
Or the threat of malicious-but-dormant-code waiting to be sync’d with my computer… gotta give it the this bit of PR fluff for telling customer’s what they should want to be doing with their mobiles.
