Go to http://www.chesstiger.com and click on "FAQ". There you will find a list
of many PalmOS compatible devices able to run Chess Tiger and their respective
"Speed index" for Chess Tiger.

The higher the speed index, the better. The list includes a REASONABLE
estimation of the elo level of Chess Tiger 15.1 on these devices. By reasonable
I mean that it is based on the SSDF evaluation of Chess Tiger 14.9 for PalmOS
running on Palm m515. So it is not a commercially inflated elo! :)
