Talking LCD Chess by Excalibur. $25 to $30. Good challenge
for a 1400 player. Really nice display. Batteries last
through many months of daily use.
The way I use it is to set it to think forever, and every
day or two I make another move (Postal chess has always
been my favorite style.) I also like to play both sides
for a few moves at first to steer itbinto an opening that
I have't played before, then playing against the computer
from there. I usually beat it (I am a 1900 player) but it
puts up enough of a fight to be enjoyable.
One easy-to-fix problem; even with the sound supposedly
turned off, it will occassionally beep. I opened the
case and cut one of the wires to the speaker. Let it
try to beep *now*! :)

I am looking for a pocket chess computer. I've read various advice
that the best pocket chess players are those that are available for
PDAs and smartphones, however I don't own either and have no need for
either. Of course, if that is the most cost-effective way to go, I
could buy one.
I don't need a pocket monster - I'm probably a 1400 player. I'd just
like a way to play chess on the bus, in the loo, in boring
meetings...something with adjustable strength would be nice.
A bonus would be some sort of way of getting data off it (SD card, PC
link, whatever) so I could export my games in PGN...but this is not
essential.
Thoughts?? TIA.
