Well, nothing really uses 4-bit right now, though the Palm IIIc devices can
certainly run in that mode if an app switches it to them. And if you're in
4-bit mode the system will use the 2-bit family member, which is usually
what you'd want anyway. So we saved rom space and skipped that depth for
now.
>2) What Palm device has a 2-bit display ?
Every device ever shipped so far actually can display in 2-bit mode, but
the OS support for doing that only started in Palm OS 3.0. And out of the
box, everything runs in 1-bit mode except for the Palm IIIc (which defaults
to 8 bits) and Web Clipping always switches the system to 2-bit mode.
Other than those two exceptions, everything I know of just uses the default
depth, so usually you're in 1-bit mode.
