Subject: Reliable ratings for bottom of the barrel chess computers

There is quite a bit of data about the ratings of the top of the line
chess computers and programs.  However, there is very little information
about the many chess computers that are in the second and third tier.
Does anyone have reliable ratings, or at least guesstimates, for the USCF
ratings of:

Machine                   Estimated USCF rating according to manufacturer

Novag Amethyst            1750
Novag Opal                1880
Mephisto Miami            2000
Novag Amber               2294

More generally, I am interested in USCF ratings for mini-handheld computers
which I define to be handhelds (with board) which have
length + width + height < 15 inches.

Thanks!
