For the money, you can get much better than that.
Just purchase a Palm ZIRE ($99 or even less), and Chess Tiger for Palm ($19.95
at http://www.chesstiger.com).
You will get a much better chess engine, that is updated regularly for free, a
more convenient chess machine, rechargeable, and you will be able to do many
other things with it (use it as a personal organizer, and actually it is a real
pocket computer with thousands of software available on the Internet).
