Smart phone are internally made of Hardware and Software, thus they are definitely susceptible to Viruses

IOS have very little chance of Virus attack,(as long as you do not jailbreak)  Android have more chance , though as long you do not download or install crack applications (virus attack should not be any problem)

Hi, 

As an iOS developer, I can confirm that iOS is well protected against virus because of the user permission requirement added to most if not all sensitive access to data and hardware within the programming process. Add to that the App Store approval process for the app. All that as long as you don´t jailbreak your device as Irfan Rasheed Khan stated.

About Android, I have´t enough experience to judge it, I am sorry :(

 

Peace,
