On today's hardware -- there is little difference in processing speed - maybe Pocket PC has the edge. There are more good chess programs available forthe Pocket PC. Pocket Grandmaster - currently has 5 engines. CEBoard - 4 Engines Pocket Friitz 2 Chess Genius with the program styletap, you also use the best Palm Chess Programs - HIARCS , Chess Tiger and Chess Genius (Chess Genius has native apps for both OS) Pocket PC may have the edge in available chess programs. Palms are generally lighter, thinner and a have a more intuitive interface, but the Pocket PC is not hard to use either. In the real world. I keep all my appointments and contacts in my pocket pc , and use my Palm for games. This is primarlity driven by the fact that I sync my Pocket PC with MS Outlook. I'm sure you can do something similiar witha Palm for contacts and appointments. If I has to buyt just one today , I would get a Pocket PC for all ofthe above plus I believe you will see Rybka on a Pocket PC before you will see it on a Palm and Rybka on a Pocket PC will be the best chess porgram ever on such a small device. Good Luck! Michael
