what would you think about a Pocket PC connected to a Novag Universal Chessboard
?
The Novag Universal Chessboard has leds that allow you to concentrate on the
board.
And the Pocket PC could run Crafty Classic 2004 in a new GUI, without displaying
a tiny 2D board but two huge clocks and some additional information yet to be
defined (best line, evaluation, etc...)

It would definitely not be a dedicated chess computer but could bring a closer
experience than the DGT with has no output capability.

Best
Alain
