Define "low cost".   If $300 is within your budget - you might be interested in
this setup:

Dell Axim 300 $199

w/Pocket Fritz 3 (soon to be released) ~$50
w/Pocket Genius $25 http://www.chessgenius.com/pocketpc/index.html
W/Pocket Grandmaster $25 http://www.pocketgrandmaster.com/english/index.html

I would also guess there may be a new Pocket PC program from Lokasoft that may
include the new Ruffian engine.  Just a guess on my part.
