Hi Mike-

While I did take a sarcastic, dismissive tone in my post, I welcome hearing your data.

Please list six destructive viruses that have propagated 'in the wild' on each of the 3 major smartphone/handheld operating systems (Palm, WinMob, Symbian) and led directly to compromised device integrity or data corruption. Surely you can find 18 viruses.

Ok-- 3 per OS will suffice... There must be nine 'mobile nasties' out there, right? OK, how about naming two e-mail-transmitted viruses designed specifically to compromise a mobile device?

Mike
PS: nope, not a single *nix box in these four walls.
Seriously, Mike-- I truly find all the creation of smoke surrounding this issue to be misdirected. The importance of using passwords, and data-security policies are far more important considerations with respect to mobile devices than worrying about malicious 'mobile-specific' threats. But, I am interested in seeing your list... I may well find myself eating crow.
