Viruses for the PocketPC DO Exist, however this is not cause to spend $40.00 on a version for the PocketPC. You need to remember that most PPC Devices have 4 typers of wireless communication.

1)IR- It would be possable to "beam" a virus
2)Bluetooth- Though not easy to set up there are many bluetooth exploits in existance, (google Bluesnarfing and Bluejacking)
3)WiFi- Though WiFi is normally firewalled, it is still possable to use it to relay data. Most routers use a NAT firewall which blocks incomming ports, not outgoing...
4)CellPhone- Cellphone connections are very strange, even though they are behind the phone company routers, I was able to access my phone rather easily using VNC, No Port settings needed
