Cell Phone Chess
Rogers has all kinds of games and programs to download, and since I got a new cell phone recently, I figured I'd try it out. $5 seemed like a good deal, so I downloaded the Chess program they have... "Medieval Knights".
For a five dollar program downloaded to a phone, it's not bad, but it poses little challenge to anyone but a beginner. Nonetheless, it's a good distraction on the way to work if I have nothing else to do.
If you're someone who's trying to learn Chess, it would be worth it just to get the experience of a few extra games here and there. It will definitely teach you when you make mistakes, because it takes advantage of them quickly, so there's some benefit there for sure.

Yes, with these little gadgets being around you can play chess everywhere and anytime. This was also a reason for me to install Rockbox - now I can play chess on my mp3 player.
Would be better with internet, though. Did anyone here try to play on a correspondence chess server or even FICS using a wireless PDA or smartphone?
