Not bloody likely. Why does this myth keep sticking around? Yes, the PalmOS can play movies at 165 fps, if you disable the audio stream completely and flip through the frames as fast as possible. My Maestro can do the same, but I've got this crazy problem: I DON'T WATCH MOVIES AT 165 FPS WITH NO SOUND. And until Palm has a real file system, it's a pain in the ass converting anything I want to watch into Kinoma and then Hotsyncing it over to an SD card.
No thank you. Pocket PC is still the only real choice for multimedia, as I believe the article you reference at the Gadgeteer points out. I'd choose my arguments a little better next time. |
With my Axim, 1GB CF card and PocketMVP I have a great multimedia device. At any time I can carry 3 full length movies and a ton of music in ogg format. I also have an SD card for even more stuff.
PocketMVP is a fantastic movie player, DivX movies play really well in full screen mode, try to do that on a little square screen.
Sorry guys, Palm still make a nice little organiser, but that's about it. The only sensible way to watch video in PalmOS is with Sony. Anyone want to buy a 1GB MemoryStick? |
1GB Memory Sticks only come in the "Memory Stick Pro" format . . . which isn't compatible with older devices. Do any Clies support MSP? I haven't seen many devices that do. Even Sony's high-end digital cameras only work with standard Memory Stick media.  |
