I have previously used a freeware version of Quick View plus, but recently it has become corrupted. What image viewing software would you recommend....don't really need anything too special (JPEG and Bitmap images mainly) but would like some advice.........

I've used Resco Picture Viewer and it's a pretty good app. There is a link on the frontpage under software.

What device do you have? With my HP J568, I used the included viewer (for use with the camera) and then with the 221x, I now use the iPaq Picture Viewer. The 2003 OS also comes with its own picture viewer.

As of right now, the Resco application is the best one on the market. Soon that might change. :wink:

I like the resco viewer, because it comes with a nice photo optimizer for the desktop. It can automatically (kind of that is..it's a batch process) resizes my photos to a smaller size, so I don't have to max out my SD Card with photos...but i can still care a TON of photos.

Works great for me.

Does that mean look out for a new one from a certain software house? :wink:

Even though it hasn't been updated much lately, I still like PocketAlbum from Conduits. Like the iPAQ Image Viewer that comes with the 2215, it allows me to put together various albums or groups of photos for different slide shows.

PDAmills viewer. It is superfast, free, full screen capability, small sized, auto rotate to landscape ....

The PalmAlbum Suite (Spb software house). Bought it when they had a special offer on it (I belive it was US$5.95 instead of US$25.95).

Like it since the desktop application allows me to drag drop all the original photos (taken at full resolution), and then create an optimise Pocket PC album in one (almost) go. No need to fiddle and re-size anything, and it gives me exactly what I was looking for - a quick way to transfer digital photos into portable albums for my Pocket PC :D

If that's the same one that comes on the 5555, I also like the semi-screensaver like feature. But hate that it apparently only reads the 'My Documents' folder for pics to display in that feature. Now those pics of Catherine Zeta Jones, Selma Hayek, etc that I put in the iPAQ File Store will never just automagically appear on screen. :(

Also check out DAVA Picture Viewer (http://www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=1&jid=3BA53XFEEX95C1F4746293646C53F7A6&productId=52455&optionId=1_2_2&productType=2&catalog=30&txtSearch=dava§ionId=0&platformId=2) (<-freeware) by Dicesoft (http://www.dicesoft.com/product/dava/intro.html).

I prefer it over the iPAQ picture viewer that came with my 3955.
