Palbum Picture Viewer
http://www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=311&platformId=2&productType=2&catalog=0&sectionId=0&productId=27441
SPB Software House likes their graphics apps! They've just released a stand-along photo viewing application with a really low price. I'm installing it now to check it out...
"Palbum Picture Viewer is following the success of the two previous products from the Palbum product line. The main idea of Palbum Picture Viewer is being fast, easy to use and intuitive. Palbum Picture Viewer look and feel is the same as those of any common Pocket PC program, like Pocket Word or File Explorer, but at the same time file browsing is made much more comfortable.
"Developers of Pocket PC software usually try to create their own interface controls if those common to the operating system doesn't suit their needs. But this approach isn't always good for users as the latter don't always feel comfortable using this custom interfaces" - Spb Software House CTO Vassili Philippov says - "So, we decided to solve this problem adding new useful features to standard Pocket PC document list control."
Unlike other Pocket PC applications using the document list control, Palbum Picture Viewer gives you an ability to browse contents of your entire device or any certain folder, remembering your favorite images locations and adding them to the folder list for quick access."
Palbum Picture Viewer can be purchased from Hadango for $5.95 (affiliate link above).

Palbum Picture Viewer
Haven't tried this, but PQView is probably the best piece of PocketPC software I've used, tons of functionality, and free for non-commercial use I think. I highly, highly recommend PQView, works great when integrated with my CF digital camera.

Unfortunately, I'm not impressed with it.
1) It doesn't auto-rotate pictures, so all my landscape pictures scroll side to site
2) The "full screen mode" has a small graphic in the lower left corner. I dislike it when developers do this - that's not full screen to me because there are distractions
3) You can't use the control pad to move from picture to picture
4) No thumbnail view for photo browsing
On the other hand, it is fast and the display quality is good.
