Dedicated Handheld Chess Computers or Handheld PC Chess Software - Which?
Without a doubt - top level handheld PC chess software is stronger than top level stand-alone handheld chess
computers. The reason for this is the amount of processing power available in the handheld or pocket PC. Each
handheld PC (including Apple products) contains a much more powerful processor than a dedicated chess hand held.
Using the same level of CPU in a dedicated chess computer would make it too expensive to manufacturer, but
writers of chess engines have the ready availability of a superb CPU even in your handheld computer.
