Sure - even if not in exactly same order.

If the image depth is correct (16 bits) and no compression is used, then
probably the color component order is wrong. Windows and Palm use different
color schemes (BGR order), by I don't remember the details by heart. The
best way to procede is to prepare 3 bitmaps - one blue, one red, one green -
and compare the output.
