In the end of December, Mr. Collin Mulliner published proof-of-concept exploits of MMS vulnerabilities at the 23rd Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin.
The proof-of-concept exploits target vulnerabilities in the SMIL presentation control language in MMS messages.
Currently IPAQ 6315 and I-mate PDA2k are the only devices, which have been confirmed to be vulnerable to the exploit but it is quite likely that all Pocket PC 2003 and Windows Smartphone 2003 devices are also vulnerable.

During November the following new virus samples were analyzed:

Appdisabler.N: http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/appdisabler_n.shtml
