I'm not sure what market share PocketPC or Palm OS has, but If you can aford a
Pocket PC with the newest version of the OS I think you will have a device with
the strongest capabilities as a chessmachine. Even if Chess Tiger probably is
the strongest program for handheld devices, the advantage of larger RAM and
faster processor counts a lot more! And by the way, Pocket Genius and Pocket
Fritz is pretty strong oponents with a lot of features!
