I think you miss an important point here. I bought the thouch chess device from
Excalibur when it got out one and a half years ago and can still play a game
with it with the original nonchargeable battery inside. It just work, no need to
think if there is any power left on the device.
The graphics can't compare with a PocketPC (I have Pocket GrandMaster) but it is
good enough to play a game with it and what more to demand.
