There is one more HUGE problem: on a Sony Clie with 320x320 resolution, you get
TWO tiny boards at the top of the screen but you cannot drag those pieces -- you
must drag pieces from the blank area of the screen (where the pieces SHOULD be)!
 And I'm talking about version 1.1 of this app.  An incredible oversight on
their part, not testing on the Sony Clie (which has gained a very significant
market share).
