Don't forget that Palm's recent OS upgrade has been delayed. Who knows if we will see it later this year, as expected. Also consider that Palm needs the new OS for the new processors. And what processor will Palm be using? StrongArm. Which, btw is what PocketPC uses also. So you will have approximate parity as far as speed goes. This may sound like I'm a PPC booster. This is far from the truth, I prefer the Palm way of doing things. I actually use my Palm for things other than chess. I cannot say the same for my PPC. Bob
