Question

I've never met anyone who has had a virus-related problem with a PDA. Does anyone reckon that AV software for organisers is actually needed currently?

I can see these products being more important in the future, if online use of PDAs accelerates as some people are preducting. But now...?

unless you are connected directly to the net via wireless or some other method, I wouldnt have thought it that important. If you use your PC to sync and add programs and its running up to date virus scanner then it should be safe. But I am sure it will, as you say, become more prevalent especially now M$ have started to come on strong with their CE devices.
