Just for comparison sake.I test PocketFritz2 which I think is based on Shredder7 and get it to analyze the game from the first move for white and get about 35000nps.This is using my iPaq hx2750 which has a 624mhz processor.Chess Genius gets over 120000nps from the starting position.

The Shredder java app just connects to a server. The server does the move calculations, so the iPhone/iPod will just act as a display. I am highly impressed Stefan can make this work, but he told me servers are cheap!
