Dave's Favorites: AcidImage 2.0
I'm always looking for a better way to display digital images on my PDA. I used ClubPhoto.com's Album to Go for a long time, but I eventually grew unhappy with the program's lack of updates. When I upgraded to the Sony Clie NR70--a Palm OS PDA with a huge 320-by-480-pixel display--I wanted something that would take advantage of all that screen real estate. I found it: AcidImage 2.0.
AcidImage 2.0 could well be the best image viewer for any handheld device, ever. Instead of making you go through the effort of converting your images into a Palm-only file format, AcidImage directly displays JPEG, bitmap, and GIFF images in gorgeous high-resolution on your NR70--and it works fine on lower-resolution Palm devices, as well.
If you have a Sony digital camera, you could pop the Memory Stick out of your camera, slide it into your Clie, and instantly view the pictures you just took. Or just drag images from your desktop PC to the PDA's install tool. No muss, no fuss.
AcidImage can display images of any size, letting you zoom in to look at details on a 3.3 megapixel photo, or pull out to see the entire image at once. The program also lets you create slideshows, rotate images, and organize your pictures in folders on a removable memory card. You can find it at Red Mercury's Web site for about $20.
