Hi.

I also keep looking for what may come next. Something that could be good news
for us chess players is the flexible screen stuff that may be out soon, whatever
soon means. A little bigger than a PDA they pull apart to reveal a huge screen.
If touch screen and with advances in battery life this could be just what we're
waiting for.

Cheers.

Ray.
