I've talked with a tech with ChessbaseUSA.com and he said that Pocket Fritz 4.0 won't work on "Droid" phones because Pocket Fritz requires Mobile Windows 6.1 (or higher) The Windows Mobile OS is very expensive. I know at this time, the Droid Phone technology is very new and is not supported for PF4 or any other Hiarcs Chess Engine. I don't think that the Mobile Windows Operating Systems will work on Droid phones. The Tech that talked to seems to think that the Mobile Windows OS will be obsolete fairly soon.
"Touch Phone" technology is new, so it will take time before sophisticated Chess software ie. Hairc chess engines will be compatible but I'm hoping that the Haircs Research & Developement team. will develope a program that will run on "Droid" phones. I'm not a programmer or software developer, but I am an advid chess player, and would be nice if there was something developed by the Hiarcs people for Droid phones. Can anyone tell me if there are chess engines as good as Pocket Fritz for "Droid" phones?
