So, if you have small images, it may actually be smaller to use 16-bit images instead. I'm pretty sure that virtually every device that supports 8-bit color also supports 16-bit color, so it shouldn't be a real compatibility problem to include 16-bit images instead of 8-bit ones.
You've got 8-bit color only on three devices, I think: the Palm IIIc, the original Japan-only Sony CLIE PEG-500C, and the Samsung SPH-IH300 smartphone. The IIIc was pretty popular as the first color Palm OS device, but the others have pretty small market share.
