Novag's Sapphire 2 is rated at 2300 (USCF) at 40/2.  I have been searching
in vain for something stronger.  IM Larry Kaufman describes its playing style
as "interesting and aggressive" and "a very solid master" at 40/2.

I have been advised to wait a year or so for Palmtop computers to get stronger.
Then you could run one of the monster software programs on something that's
about the size of the Sapphire, albeit at five times the price.
