Then again there is this story about $199 netbooks coming this summer, which makes you wonder if it worth spending money on the previous two. It has not been released yet, but I intend to ask someone to run a crafty or a glaurung benchmark when it is, so that we could see how fast (and strong) they are on this hardware. I think it would be more appropriate, because one can compile all the free (open source) chess engines for it and probably also the Scid database. There is a new portable gaming console, called Pandora, with a faster CPU: 600 MHz OMAP3530 ARM Cortex-A8 (32 Bit) and 256MB Ram. If you add what you spend for a DS and for Fritz chess DS and then double this amount, and you can wait 2 months, you have another option. It would be a good opponent, and I am sure Fritz will have a beautiful GUI, but not very good for analysis or for having a database with many games stored in it. Discussion of anything and everything relating to chess playing software and machines. So the engine would not be very strong, besides according to your links, Fruit 2.1 is about 2270 elo on this hardware. I think most new cell phones have much faster processors. It is a bit old and weak compared to modern processors. According to wikipedia, DS's cpu is: one 67 MHz ARM946E-S and one 33 MHz ARM7TDMI.
