A toy????
Is it a joke?
Many people use it every day for their business tasks. I do.
Chess programs for Palm are becoming stronger and it is obvious that playing
chess on a Palm is much more interesting than playing in front of a PC.
Yesterday a friend of mine was at home. He played several games against Chess
Tiger for Palm. He admitted that he was not playing anymore with the many PC
chess programs he owns. But if he had a Palm he would be playing chess every
day.

Maybe the future is the tablet PC, a device which is middle way between a Palm
and the present PC.
