I can use it when I travel. I can sit on a train or bus and easily play an
adequate opponent (I'm not that good), replay games or whatever, and without any
need for paper, magnetic chessboards or other stuff. I would carry my PDA with
me anyway, so it's no hassle. It integrates computer, calendar and chess player
in a truly portable unit. In a few years, it will also integrate an mp3-player,
a cellular phone, a digital camera and a GPS in the same unit, while having the
power of todays desktop computers.
