Viewing Photos and Videos
Supported file types
You can copy a photo or video from your computer and 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, it 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.
Note that due to numerous video formats available for both Windows and Mac computers, not all
formats 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.
On a Windows computer, Windows Media Player, DirectX, or Apple QuickTime, is
required for Media to play videos that have been prepared for playback on your handheld. If you
do not have one of these applications on your computer, you can use the link on the software
installation CD to download Windows Media Player. (Download requires Internet connection;
additional fees may apply.)
