First Symbian worm last month and first Windows CE virus this month. Summer's heating up. :)
It 's interesting as the number of different processors Windows CE is capable of running on has shrunk (3 to 1), the first file infector arrives. The single platform certainly reduces costs for developers .
I don't think there is as large a market in pirated Windows CE software as other PDA platforms like Symbian and Palm. Larger traffic in pirated software('warez') provides ready cover for the distribution of viruses and other malware. Until recently with the N-Gage, there has not been a very active Symbian warez market. With newer devices running on a standard platform, we may yet see Windows CE catch up with the other operating systems.
Analyses of WinCE.Duts
F-Secure's - nice pictures :)
Symantec's - good naming, with the OS indicated; without OS implies DOS
