Trend releasing new mobile AV

Just got the press release yesterday. Trend Micro is announcing Mobile Security.

Some points of note:

• The current download is for Windows Mobile 2003 for Smartphone 2003 only. Other Windows Mobile 2003 editions next month.
  
  Very useful if you have a copy of wince.duts on your phone. Duts.1520 asks permission to infect, so this is not yet that useful.
  
  


• The Symbian version ,also due next month, is written to use the UIQ UI instead of Series 60.
  
  Timely if Cabir should ever be ported to UIQ. Still useful if some new fool decides to pull the Skulls trick with UIQ phones.
  

Seriously a port to Series 60 would not be that difficult. The market for Series 60 AV already has 2-3 players (F-Secure,Symantec,Jamanda), but there is still quite a bit of room for additional offerings. Virus writers tend to target the largest markets, AV should not be avoiding the same.
