The Palm, a suboptimal solution????
Obviously you have never tried it. It's cheap, it's fast, it's robust, has a
large autonomy, can be overclocked, does everything you need, and you find
thousands of programs for it.
As far as I know, almost all owners of Palms are happy with it. And a large
percentage of owners of WinCE or PocketPC computers are not happy with it.
Anyway, there will be a PocketPC version of Chess Tiger for Palm. I will come
after the graphical Palm version.

You should try game in one minute on Gambit's side, and game in 30 minutes on
Pocket Chess side.
I do not know at what level of imbalance they would be equal, but I guess it's
not far away from that.
You can expect the PocketPC version of Tiger to wipe away PocketChess, of
course. :)
