Hello all,
I am playing with the idea of streaming video to a Palm device. I'm reading
Palm bitmap images from my web server. These images are 160x120 and 2 bits
per pixel (bpp). The file size for one frame (image) is 4,816 bytes. Using
a Palm VII and the Palm.net service, it takes about forty seconds to
download one image. Live video at one frame every forty seconds is not
acceptable. Does the Palm.net service support faster speeds? Are the
Palm.net speeds published sometwhere? I saw a Palm VII at COMDEX streaming
one frame about every two seconds, In light of the performance I'm
experiencing, I don't understand how this was possible.
Do you think they had a special connection to Palm.net?
If there are higher speed connections, will they be available to the public?
Does Palm plan to offer faster wireless speeds, at some point in time?
At this point I am only interested in the Palm VII, since OmniSky is not
currrently in a position to determine why I'm having problems downloading a
binary file.
Thank you in advance for any help,
Jeff Davey
