As was discussed recently on the Internettablettalk.com site, Scid works very well on a N800 or N810. There just need to be a few cosmetic changes like making it work better displayed vertically rather than horizontally, giving room for a larger board. Anyone who isn't familiar with this discussion should go to that site and search on the word SCID.
There are chess programs that work well on my Centro phone for displaying chess games, so there is no question that something like Scid would work great on the bigger screen that the N8x0 tablets have. And there's something a LOT nicer than working at a desktop computer about reading games from books on a little computer that can sit right next to the pages and be a portable chess diagram for you. Scid is great for that. --- On Sun, 8/10/08, Pascal Georges <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: Pascal Georges <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [Scid-users] Scid port to maemo > To: > Cc: [email protected] > Date: Sunday, August 10, 2008, 6:57 AM > 2008/8/10 Cory Helfrich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > Hello Pascal, > > > > My Palm OS PDA finally failed on me.
