Hi. Do you want a PDA just for chess? If not sure I think you should look at
what a Pocket PC can do and compare with Palm. From my experience Palm's are
easier to use and more reliable than PPC but PPC better at handling lots of
data, files etc.. I have 2003 vintage PPC and Tungsten T so newer machines may
challenge this. Whatever, unless you're darn good then you're in for a regular
thrashing! But some people like that sort of thing..... er...so I'm told.

Have "fun".

Ray.
