While I agree with you about the lack of database support, I think it should be
mentionned that Chess Tiger is able to import/export PGN games. This is done by
copying/pasting the PGN text from your favorite PC/Mac chess program to the Palm
Desktop Application and pressing the Hotsync button on the Palm's cradle.
Exporting a PGN from Chess Tiger for Palm to your PC or Mac is as simple, the
other way around.
