In theory yes, but it would be difficult to design and distribute a virus for a mobile given that there are so many different kinds of phone systems. The chance of mobile infection is slim due to the sheer lack of viruses that have been deployed.

A cell phone virus is basically the same thing as a computer virus -- an unwanted executable file that "infects" a device and then copies itself to other devices. But whereas a computer virus or worm spreads through e-mail attachments and internet downloads, a cell-phone virus or worm spreads via Internet downloads, MMS (multimedia messaging service) attachments and Bluetooth transfers. The most common type of cell-phone infection right now occurs when a cell phone downloads an infected file from a PC or the Internet, but phone-to-phone viruses are on the rise.
