Buy a Palm (www.palm.com) and ChessGenius (www.chessgenius.com) for Palm, you'll
find the combination excellent. You'll get a 1950 elo chess computer.
You play on a LCD chessboard with a stylus, that's much more convenient than
actual small plastic pieces, believe me. You can play anywhere, even at night
(the Palm has a backlit screen).
