- Smartphone users have today been offered free antivirus and anti-spam software for their handsets - but only for a limited period. The offer from security firm Trend Micro is only open to devices that use the Windows Mobile 2003 operating system, but a version for Symbian and Pocket PC devices will be out in January. The software package protects against viruses and SMS spam and needs regular updates.

The company said that the offering will be free, but only until July 2005.
