Supported file types
When you copy a photo or video from your computer, you can save it directly on your handheld or on an expansion card (sold separately) inserted into the expansion slot.
You can view photos in popular formats such as JPG, BMP, TIFF (uncompressed), and GIF on your handheld. On a Windows computer, when you copy a photo in a popular format to your handheld using the Media desktop application from within Palm® Desktop software, the photo is saved on your handheld in its original format. If you copy a photo in a different format, it is saved on your handheld in JPG format.
On a Mac computer, all photos you copy by dragging them onto the Send To Handheld droplet icon are saved on your handheld in JPG format.
To view a video on your handheld, on a Windows computer, open Media from within
Palm Desktop software, add the video, and then synchronize to send the video to your handheld. On a Mac computer, drag the video to the Send To Handheld droplet, and then synchronize. The video is converted to a format your handheld can play and is optimized for viewing on the handheld.
For both Windows and Mac computers, note that there are numerous video formats. Not all types can be converted to a format that’s viewable on your handheld. If you can’t open and view a video in the desktop Media application on a Windows computer, you won’t be able to view the video on your handheld.
