The problem with such devices is that you can buy a cheap (monochrome) Palm or Handspring organiser plus a PalmOS chess program (Chess Tiger, Chess Genius for Palm) and get _far_ more out of that combination although you're maybe paying 3 times as much; quite apart from anything else, you can run software other than chess programs and transfer chess games to and from a PC. (And the playing strength, graphics and usability of the PalmOS program will be far superior; I used one of those dedicated devices, although not the one you point to, and the piece graphics were appalling, almost indistinguishable from one another). Some links to try: http://www.palm.com/products/ [Palm; look at the m125] http://www.handspring.com/ [Handspring; look at the Neo, for example] http://www.chessgenius.com/palm.htm [Genius for PalmOS] http://www.rebel.nl/chesstiger/ [Chess Tiger for various platforms]
