News: Antivirus Software for PDAs
Can your PDA pick up a virus? Unfortunately, the answer is yes. In fact, the first known virus aimed at handhelds was discovered in August 2000. With that in mind, Symantec recently announced its first antivirus software for Palm OS and Pocket PC devices. Symantec AntiVirus for Handhelds Corporate Edition ($10 to $27, depending upon the licensing volume) aims to protect handhelds against viruses, worms, and Trojan horses.

Palm is changing the name of its hardware division, currently called the Palm Solutions Group, to PalmOne. The idea is to better differentiate the hardware company from PalmSource, a spin-off company that focuses on developing and licensing the Palm operating system. PalmOne will incorporate Handspring, once the acquisition of its former hardware rival is complete.
