Suggestion: Norton in various mobile devices?

Hi, grone93,

 

Norton is actively talking with Apple in an attempt to support iOS devices. As you doubtless know, however, Apple is not particularly inclined to share their APIs at the level it takes to build a security or utilities product.

 

Keep your eye on this space; if the gate to the walled garden ever swings open, you'll be among the first to know!

Windows Phone is something that we're actively looking into as well.  Symbian looks like it's being abandoned by Nokia.  Symbian Anna was released on a device recently, but with their Windows Phone commitment that it seems like we won't be hearing much about Symbian in the near future.  That said, as we look at expanding into other platforms we will of course exam the market in deciding which platforms to support.  Of course, as we add platforms we will make it known.
