The Palm family of handheld personal digital assistants began with the Palm Pilot. The original units were meant to serve as pocket portable extensions of a host computer. Continuing advancements through a succession of developers allow Palm devices to communicate with a host computer via USB cables or Bluetooth connections. Palm handhelds now include units classified as smart phones with wireless cell phone connectivity. Palm photo options take, store and transmit color photos. - Take and transfer photos on a Palm PDA.man working on pda image by jimcox40 from Fotolia.com
All Palm Pixi, Pre and Treo units have a built-in camera and flash unit. By selecting the camera option from the main menu the user can take a picture in portrait or landscape mode. After the picture is snapped it remains on the screen for an action option. The picture can be saved, deleted or emailed through the smart phone. An advice notice on the screen indicates the size of the picture in kilobytes and how many pictures can be taken in the remaining onboard storage space. A second screen offers options to create a new album or view existing albums. Select an album and tap on small pictures to display a larger version on the screen. - This is a photo organizer for handhelds and works very well on Palm units. It synchronizes with desktops on Mac or Windows. Powerful features add photos on handhelds or desk computers. Titles and notes can be added on the desktop. Photos can be moved among different albums. Organization created on the desktop transfers to the handheld when the tow units share a synchronization exchange.
- Take a digital picture, save one from the web or transfer photos from your computer with the FireConverter synchronizing software. Images open quickly and can be zoomed, in or out, from 1 percent to 99 percent of the original image. The software accepts BMP, TIFF, GIF, JPEG, PCX, PNG, AVI and MOV image formats.
- View and categorize photos on Palm devices in the same manner you utilize the pictures folder on your host computer. This software creates virtual albums for sorting and creating photo or album categories. View photos individually or create an album slide show.
- This utility makes it possible to email photos directly from a Palm device. A useful feature allows you to email photos to others, or your host computer, even when the handheld memory is full. Multiple emails may be sent with the same photo. File copies may be saved to VFS cards.
- Share Palm photos with Palm-connected organizers. This utility is compatible with all Palm devices and adjusts automatically to each Palm platform. Transferred photos can be viewed one at a time or in continuous slide shows. Beam individual photos or albums to other Palm handhelds.
- Send and receive photos remotely with Bluetooth wireless connectivity or beam them to other handheld devices. Graphical interface adds or changes photos. Capture pictures with the Palm handheld or transfer photos from the host computer. Optimum picture quality is selected automatically with PocketPhoto software.
