Phone companies seem to live in a world where, somehow, people will simply find money to spend on phone services. So they come up with ideas like email on smartphones because it increases average revenue per user

...and then they discover that this costs them money to support - more money than they make from the service?

It could easily be so, thinks Andrew Wyatt at Intuwave.

Agree?

By the way, there's another worry for IT support staff: the smartphone may be a useful virus vector into the corporate LAN. Well, that's the theory some consultants are airing.

Some even say that phone viruses will be the next hacker game. Are they trying to encourage the script kiddies to try?

Cabir the latest virus made by anti-virus sellers highlights the problem that is looming in teh mobile industry Symbian OS is however easy to protect, but Java is another matter - no one has a Java virus - Symbian is just 1% of teh phone market - wait till the first real java virus.

The Java approach to viruses is that security is a prime design feature of the language and the environment.

Its opponents, of course, counter wiht the remark: "That's just another way of saying that Java applications can't actually do much."

Me: I'm not taking sides...
