Photos on PDAs

It used to be that the only digital photos that would be transferred to PDAs from a site such as this via AvantGo would be limited to 150 pixels. That's the screen size of the original Palm. Now, though, the newer Palms and compatible products have over twice those pixels, and the Windows PDAs have always had more screen. For this last entry I tried making the image a bit larger (250), and may try larger still. Does this work for everyone? Any older PDA users out there wish I'd drop back to 150 pixels wide?

Folks viewing this weblog live on the web can simply click the image for a bigger version.

I have never used AvantGo, due to size contraints, so I can't answer this question, but have you tried Plucker? I use it a lot and it is very flexible. I am told it blows AvantGo out of the water.

The pic from the "Game night goodbye" showed up just fine on my m130. I guess I don't know if that's 150 or 250, but that'd be just about the biggest it could get without requiring scrolling.

It works for me.

My impression of Plucker is that it's a powerful tool for people who are comfortable tweaking config files. Fine for individuals, but not for the masses, in other words. (Not that masses are reading Boardgames To-Go!)

Dave, that pic you mentioned was 250 pixels wide, so I'll stick to that.
