Hey list,

I am trying to develop a mapservice for wireless devices (well the Palm really, since that's all I have). Is anyone else working on anything like that? I have many questions....  

I'll just throw some out there. 

Image type
Does anyone have any experience optimizing JPEG for the Palm?

Does any know if any Wireless browsers support PNG? I have tried AvantGo, Handspring Blazer, Palmscape, and Proxiweb (what happened to Proxiweb?), with no luck?

Has anyone ever used the PocketPC emulator?  Do you know how to connect it to the web?  

Right now, I have only had success serving JPEGs and accessing them using a PalmOS device with the AvantGo browser. I suspect GIF would work, but our Mapserver was not compiled for GIFs.  If anyone knows of any other configurations that will work, I'd like to hear about it.

Thanks, 

Matt
