GCP,
 Do you mean that in your opinion I would not want an iPAQ too, for chess
strength? Or what do you mean exactly?
Steve,
 Could you also recomend to me the best Palm (in about eight weeks from now)for
chess and general purposses, if I wll NOT get iPAQ also? And which Palm would be
best for all-purposses if I WILL also be getting the iPAQ for chess strength
purposses?

And does anyone know about the Helio?

Thanks!
S.Taylor
