All PDA users help...

[InGearX]

I'm writing from a major university...

We are developing an application to show some search results as a visual map...

So instead of building an application just for the PocketPC users (that they'll need to go through the trouble of installing) and beaming them the coordinates...

I am thinking if I could just beam the picture - and display it in a Pocket Internet Explorer...
But also:

1) Which Palm devices would be able to receive (via infrared) a 24bit .jpg file 350x440 and 0.1 MB in size and display it in a scrollable window so that every pixel would be seen?

2) Which cellphones would be able to do the same?

3) Which other devices/PDA's would also be able to display such a picture?

Basically I would want you to confirm that your device would be able to support/not support the operation described above.

*4) Please state your device model, os version, program that will be displaying the image, options... (this will be helpful for building a help file)

*5) Also please state the divices you've had extended experience with and that will definatly not be able to perform the operation above!

(As you might of guessed I'm a power PocketPC user, but I encourage use of all devices)
Thank you...

Why dont you just get pocket pc's with memory card slots? Then you can easily and quikly move large files and not worry about beaming.

BTW, just about any pocket pc can view a jpeg gif ot bitmap. There are tons of freeware programs that can view a picture.

Like the built in picture viewer on all of the 2003 HP ipaqs have where the entire image is shown and you can scrol by taping on the pic and dragin it around (kinda like adobe acrobat)

Good luck
