    No, this is NOT about masturbation. :p


    Anyway, I reacently purchased a Garmin iQue (it's a PDA with GPS), and it has worked wonders so far. But I just got paid today and decided to pick up a memory card for it (256mb card was on sale for $99cdn). To make a long story short, I can't view jpg images I download to it. Is there some hidden application in OS5 or something? Or where can I go to download a program that will allow me to view pictures and such on it? I've tried palm.com and tucows.com, but to no avail. Any help?

    iirc plam os doesn't natively support JPEG's. Sony use something funky on their handhelds. You will need to use a third party app like splashphoto, which is what I use.

    hmmm.. interesting. I use my Palm built in palm photos thing. Although, it is a Zire 71 which has the digi cam in it. Sadly, I now see the Zire 72 which can do movies and has built in blue tooth. Two things I want in my palm. And its the same price I paid for my Zire 71 :sigh:

    oh well. Maybe if someone wants to buy my palm for 375 cdn$, then I'll go get me a 72. If not, then I'll just sit here and take single photos and not surf the web werever I want :waah:

    hehe.

    Sorry I can't help ya Malfo. And rats about the mastervation. :lol: j/k. I new you meant palm pilots.
    hmmm... you didn't happen to see if palm photos would work on your palm did you?

    grr, got a new problem (sorted out the whole picture thing btw). ATM, I've got my sd card filled to the brim with mp3's (as I take it everywhere with me, I didn't feel the need to lug arround my battery hog of a mp3 player and just use this insted.). Now, my problem is this: what proggie for the palm (os5) will play wma? I've done quite a bit of searching: google; tucows; handango; asking arround. And thus far, I've found nothing. Reasion for wma? Smaller file size than mp3 (my 256meg card can hold 45 songs, my 128meg mp3 player cramed with wma's holds 42 of roughly the same length.....). So, any help?

    Not good news I fear, there are only 3 players that I can find for the palm and at the moment none of them support WMA. pocket-tunes does support MP3 and OGG and it looks like it will support WMA in a while.

    I use Acid Image to view jpegs on my Clie NR70V (OS4) - it should work on an OS5 machine though.
