1750 playing strength handheld that costs $90? No save game / pgn database support? That's a bit old-tech now, isn't it?
Your point about phone battery issues is valid ... but just how long do you tend to have your app. running? Even with a chess engine running full-blast, I'd daresay you use your phone as your primary analysis engine? Most people I know use a laptop/desktop for analysis and use their mobile phone's chess engine to quickly look something up on the go.
Anyone have any experience with any good digital chess hand-helds? I have a program on my phone that works fine, my only concern is killing the battery on my phone by using it so much. :x

This one looks good, albeit costly, though the piece design seems strange to me. Was wondering if anyone had any experiences with it.
Or could recommend something similar?
Thanks!
