I posted a long review of it some time back (look in the archives). The short of
it is:

PC version: it is indeed the Ruffian engine; excellent user interface and
general presentation although the engine parameters are not made available and
there are no facilities such as game analysis or support for other Winboard/UCI
engines;

PalmOS version: don't install at the moment as it has a couple of elementary
programming errors which, I think, led to crashes after a few games had been
played.
