If it’s not a big enough target, please explain why the virus writers are going after certain cell phone models, not running Windows, that are numbered only in the thousands of units?

“There’s not enough of them to bother” doesn’t fly any more. Not when people are writing *Palm* and *Casio* viruses.

Probably because a lot of that stuff runs software written in Java. I know that the Blackberries we have here in the office use it. Java, being cross platform, doesn't care about the OS. So anything you write for that is likely going to hit more than just Palms and Casios.
