The quest for explaining the nature of dark matter continues, with recent antimatter data perhaps giving a new clue. It seems that the previously theoretically most favoured models, such as the MSSM, may have difficulties in explaining the new measurements. I will briefly review the situation, and present some new models which may be compatible with data. Some problematic features will also be highlighted.
