Why no opinions on other chess handhelds, I thought this was where
chess computer experts post!!

You should be able to sit down and play a 6 hour game, and more, on a
Zire 21. Zire 22 has a color screen and uses more battery. Since I
don't have a Z22 I can't testify to it's battery life. Try some
googling on that one.

The displays are better on the Plam devices vs. the dedicated
handhelds and they are stronger as well.

There are other chess progs for Palm apart from the playing ones but I
never found them very useful. You can load up games and positions.
