I downloaded it last night and played a game at 1 sec/move
on my stock Palm III (no overclocking).(appended). Probably not the
finest hour for either of us.

The demo, at least, seems to not have any way to save or import games
as files. It does allow replay of the last game, so I created the PGN
file below by replaying the game and manually entering it into ExaChess
on my Mac.

You can set up positions with the stylus (actually, it seems like you
can set up pieces much faster with a stylus than you can with a mouse
on a desktop machine - a pleasant discovery). It seems you can get one
"full think" of up to 3 minutes on a "setup" position, so one could
run a problem test on it, if one wanted to.

I added a new category for PDAs/palmtops on my index site, and added
ChessGenius and all others I could find. Let me know if I missed any:
