Viruses could have your number

Article Abstract:

As cell phones take on additional computer or P.D.A. functions, they become susceptible to the accompanying malfunctions, like viruses. Scientists at the University College, in Cork, Ireland, have already created a virus that disables a Palm P.D.A. In Spain, a text message meant to copy itself across computers on the Internet ended up reaching a few cellular phones. Experts advise P.D.A. users to exchange data via computers with antiviral software and back up data frequently.
