"Symantec Corp. today announced it will offer Symantec Mobile Security Suite 5.0, a solution designed to provide customers with the same security and data protection capabilities on their Windows Mobile smartphones and PDAs as what has become standard for laptops and other computing devices. Symantec Mobile Security Suite 5.0 will include antivirus, firewall, anti-SMS spam, and data encryption technologies that are easy to deploy, manage and maintain. This kind of layered security can not only mitigate the unique security risks of mobile devices, but can also enable companies to more easily and cost-effectively comply with internal security policies and external regulations."

Well this is quite a security suite from Symantec. The question is: do we need it for our mobile devices? I personally don't use Symantec products. Their PC products seem a bit bloated to me and I haven't heard good things about their Mac products. The suite is scheduled to be released in May. So what do you think? Is this type of security suite necessary for Windows Mobile devices?
