It has proven to be a very popular product. As for myself, I am much more likely to buy a Palm and Chess Tiger (if I want high-end chess) than a dedicated chess handheld that would cost about the same. A Palm can do many other things and the applications can be upgraded. (Christophe Theron has already upgraded Palm Chess Tiger once since its initial release.) Still, I wish Novag the very best.
