Nope. Malware (one virus and several Trojan horses) for PalmOS already exists - 
has existed for years. Currently there is an explosion of malware being created 
for another mobile OS - Symbian. Although Symbian has much larger market share 
than PalmOS, it makes perfect sense to be prepared just in case the virus 
writers notice the PalmOS platform and/or PalmOS-running phones become popular.
