Absolutely.  You can index a PNG image, just like GIF, and the image 
file will almost always be smaller than the corresponding GIF.  Since 
you also get transparency (1-channel or full alpha), a PNG can do 
everything a GIF can do except animation.  In other words, there's 
almost no reason to use GIF.
