Hi all,
the current beta of PocketGrandmaster is available from
http://www.pocketgrandmaster.com/english/dload2.html
The main new feature is support for FICS and ICS. Also, PocketGrandmaster
should now work with WVGA- and square-screen-devices.
If you have any questions, let us (info@pocketgrandmaster.com) know!
Have fun with the new version,
Frank and Kai

Re: New FICS/ICS-client for Windows Mobile devices
Thanks kai and frank - i'll give it a run now - i have been a long fan of PocketGrandmaster 
edit
All seems well except - login to fics - i have an account but even with enable sip button activated (or deactivated) the keyboard will not stay up long enough to input my username\password - i can login as a guest - observe games works well - i have not tried to play online yet but to me layout seems good!

Hi Mark,
could you please uncheck the option "enable SIP button" in the options dialog? Are you now able to open the SIP?
If this still doesn´t work you should be able to enter name and password with copy & paste for a workaround. Which device and which os version do you use?
Best regards,
Kai

Re: New FICS/ICS-client for Windows Mobile devices
I think i spotted a small bug that was not there in 3.01
When you change engine its name is in the titlebar - when you exit pgm and restart the name of the engine is not in the titlebar - it just says 'PocketGrandmaster' - i think it is useful to know the currently activated engine in pgm.

Are their plans for some new engines.The latest engine I have is Toga 3.1.2SE.

Thanks for your kind words Bryan!
@Alex
not at the moment. The Fruit/Toga clones doesn´t seem to be a bigger improvement to 3.1.2SE and for a Rybka port you have to ask Vas.
