They work in all color depths (from black and white to 16-bpp), high and low density, from any source (external file, resource, etc.), can understand block operations (i.e. partial downloading of a JPEG image from the web one block at a time), etc. (Because the image returned by the armlets are in double-density, 16-bpp format, the libaray leverages the PalmOS's native error-diffusion dithering techniques for lower screen depths.) Only after the author of AbsoluteWord's JPEG library reduces or has reduced the price substantially would I be willing to give it a second look. It's price is prohibitive of small-time development with it, and it only has one major feature not present in the other (free) libraries - GIF animation. It may take a little while longer to integrate the JPEG armlets into your application (esp. if you simply use the pre-made armlet), but it is well worth it to understand how it works and create your own. Did I mention it's free? ;) - Matthew Bevan -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
