Managers free photographs
A utility quite useful for a Palm, is to save the photos that move with the built-in camera or, if both have infrared or bluetooth, taken by mobile phone. The high resolution display and the ability to save photos in the SD card (may need Getdeblu to transmit easily), make it a good manager of photographs, by the time we must be quite some time without being able to move photos to our PC. Thus we have the functionality of other devices specifically for this task, without buying a new appliance.
As a multimedia storage device
With no camera in the Palm nor in the mobile phone, not too take this ability from my Tungsten E2 (which has both Bluetooth and SD card for expansion), and only took over some photos of people who want ls remember when step some time away from them. But another reason why not use it much, is the sometimes ugly photo viewer that my Palm brings factory installed, the Media application.
Multimedia in general is very well designed, but in my opinion has two main faults: not easily change allows zooming with which we see the images, and has a poor memory management, which makes my Palm is reset for having filled the DbCache memory with only display a few photos (3 megapixel, but should be freed memory when changing photo).
Fortunately I have come across an image viewer that is quite useful, also free, and correcting these two defects. This program is GrxView Lite, down version of GrxView and GrxView Pro, but that has everything needed to manage basic images:
- Support images in JPG, which is used by most digital cameras.
- Support screen at 160x160, 320x320 and 320x480 pixels.
- Zoom in the post-processing images with anti-aliasing.
- Lee images seamlessly from the memory card.
- Support for thumbnail view.
- Optimized for ARM processors (for the latest PDAs).
- Zoom and rotate images simple and fast.
- Presentation Mode (ie display one at a time with an interval of time between them).
The interface is nice and simple, but useful
As manager of images has basic choices: rename, delete, view date, move, copy, create folder, and so on. The Standard and Pro versions are to pay, but added functionality. The standard adds:
- Support for other file formats: JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, WBMP, PCX.
- Ability to send and receive images from inside the program, by infrared or bluetooth.
And the Pro adds:
- Access to metadata EXIF.
- Support for displaying animated GIFs.
- Decoding JPG 30% faster than in other versions.
For my needs and those of many people suppose, the Lite version will be more than enough. But since we can use a free program so useful, I decided to outline the advanced versions, which are a good option for those who work more intensively with images on your Palm.
There are other image viewers for Palm free, it is worth highlighting:
- VD Image Viewer: need to convert the images into a format suitable for display on the Palm, but is quick zoom in doing the same.
- Palm JPEGWatch: is another good viewer JPG images. It has a free Lite version, but with three features disabled access to external memory, optimization of support for ARM processors, and support thumbnails.
Either of these programs will allow us to see on the screen of our high-resolution Palm images taken with the camera, and able to manage them properly. So the Palm becomes the ideal companion to entrust our photos during the holidays or any trip, thereby avoiding limit their number by poor memory of mobile phones, or having to buy a specific device to store them all.

continues… (read intention, no intention, forgiveness)
although I was unable
. How little you not? and liberating this precious space that is occupying our already limited by memory. In particular RescoView used, is very good but pays… if you know how to disappear from the Multimedia T/E2 let us know. 
Ok. Greetings

GrxView install on my Palm Tungsten E2 and I had several problems with the program, but I do not install either shows the contents of my palm and she and I have several photos and loaded at any given time I mark a mistake and I boot program and I turn off the palm.
I would like to see if they help me because the program makes me quite good for Waste
mmm… Joel obviously is the program you probocando conflict. Evidence Uninstall and reinstall. We also recommend that all your pictures facilities on an SD card to save space; equal and also from here you can read better images. Ah. and verifies that they are in JPG format, according to this version only friend Marcos is widely read.
Okay, to see if you used the information.
Hello,
I also still often the deeds of the Tungsten PDA, is addictive. This time I tried GrxView Lite and I hung my T3 occasionally. On the other hand, can switch from one image to another without going through the miniatures? In this aspect (at the risk of being banished blog) prefer the implementation of the original Palm, and forgive me…;))
A greeting
Ha, ha, ha. Here is not destierra anyone. The opinion of all is equally valid.
The original Multimedia is faster loading previews, and if it were not for my Palm hangs to see the third photo, you only miss the zoom function.
In theory can be configured cursors to navigate through the photos, rather than to move on the screen, but you're right, if I do that, when I hit a key exits to the thumbnail.
One option is to change the directory without a hearing miniatures, to be rapid change between pictures, I can think of no other solution.
