The Virtual Display Image Viewer is a free package including windows NT4.0/2000/XP/95/98/ME image converter/installer application and a Palm OS v3.5-4.x image viewer.

The viewer is primarily designed for taking diagrams, driving directions or schematics on the go.

Unlike conventional Palm OS image viewers the Virtual Display Image Viewer is capable of performing low quality zooming operation on the fly, which makes the navigation over the image and the search of a particular picture position on a small size Palm screen significantly easier preserving the same memory requirements.

Update Description:

Version 1.8a:

- Fixed problem with sporadic "invalid or unsupported bitmap" error popup when opening images from "browser" screen;

- Fixed armlet bug that caused crashes on Treo650 (thanks to everybody who helped to trace it down). If you are using SD card make sure the prevous version is not stuck in the handheld memory;

- Added 65536 colors mode support (tested with m505 emulator and Palm Tungsten C). Keep in mind that the decompression using 68K code becomes a significant slowdown with these image sizes, so check if the quality improvement realy worth the storage and speed in your usage case;
