Here are a few more points about PocketPC programs: 1. The trainng mode in Pocket Fritz does not support variations. Thus, you will have to strip out everything but the PV for your solutions (if you want to use it in this mode). This is probably not what you want for endgame studies. 2. Pocket Grandmaster also has a training mode like Pocket Fritz's. If I recall, it has the same limitation in regards to variations in training mode. You could also choose to simply ignore the random training modes, and instead access each exercise in the DB in serial fashion. Either program will do this, and work with variations. The only problem is that you will have to find some method for tracking which exercises you have completed. Incidentally, there is a good freeware chess DB available for the PocketPc, and it is called CEBoard. http://alain.zanchetta.free.fr/CEBoard.htm Either program can access PGN files directly, and these files can contain multiple games/test positions. On the Palm, your options are more limited. A program that I used once upon a time called Chesspad worked with PGN files, but you had to convert them to the Chesspad format and vice versa. If I recall, you were restricted to one game per file. Other Chess programs for the palm can read PGN, but I doubt they will have the functionality you want. Basically, the PocketPC is what you want.
