I bought it because it's probably the best handheld chess program available
right now, BUT:

I rarely use my PocketPC because I always have my Sony Clie in my pocket.  The
Clie is smaller, the screen is higher-res (320x320) and shows more color (my
iPAQ is only 12-bit), the battery lasts much longer, the OS is much more
elegant, and the Clie takes expansions cards directly (unlike my iPAQ which
needs a "sleeve" that makes it even bigger than its already too-large size).

Any idea what the new version of Pocket Fritz will add/fix/improve?
