So ChessGenius for Palm cannot create PGNs longer than >8Kb.

First, can the PGN text of a chaess game, without annotations, really reach 8k or anywhere close?? Second, the limit per note may be much less. 2k rings a bell. Third, the programmer can always provide a conduit with his app -- they're pretty easy to write. The conduit, once installed, can back up the games during a hotsync. Pocket Chess, which unfortunately plays MUCH weaker chess, does it this way and it works very well.
