Well... The Palm natively supports its own bitmap format and you can display those with a single call. Beyond that, you're going to have to write (or find some free code) to decompress and display, so really it's completely up to you. If your files are huge in .jpg format, I suspect you're not going to find many better solutions size-wise, but there are certainly speedier formats.
