On the IIIc, it displays 8 bit with a custom color palette.
But On every other Palm device with an "EZ" processor I use 4 bit.
Tell me, how do you get 8 bit depth on a Palm V, III[ex], Visor, m100
or (noncolor) Clie?
(Basically I am simply displaying GIFs and PNGs on the palm for now,
but I still have to do some "imaging" to squeeze the images).
