Personally, I'd wait a while.  Currently, there's basically zero threat
for Pocket PCs.  It's not at all clear if they'll gain enough success to
make widespread attacks worth-while, and until that happens, the validity
of any protection will be questionable (it's only been recently that PC or
"Personal" firewalls have become necessary enough for them to be exercised
and their issues found.)

I'd be in almost any enterprise, there are more significant targets that
should get the attention.
