Word on the street is that Ratter, a member of the 29A virus development group has released a proof of concept virus, designed for the PocketPC. It was only recently that 29A released code which targets mobile phone running the Symbian OS.
There is no destructive payload and the user is asked if the virus is allowed to spread, which is partly due to this being POC code. Of course, there may now be a stream of future virii destined for Symbian devices and also PocketPC systems.
It just goes to show, it is only a matter of time before someone decides to do something and completes the task. Read an analysis of Duts, here.
