SplashData, Inc. has begun shipping SplashPhoto, an image viewer for Palm OS handhelds that allows users to view digital images while on the go. SplashPhoto displays quality color and gray-scale images, which can be viewed as thumbnails, individually or in a slide show, on all handhelds running Palm OS 3.1 or later. SplashPhoto can be employed by both consumers and professionals to view images of friends, family, real estate, medical data, or products.

Images are uploaded to the Palm using the included SplashPhoto Desktop software for Macintosh and Windows. Once uploaded to the Palm, images can be annotated, categorized, and beamed to other Palm OS handhelds. A Palm with 1MB of free memory can hold approximately 50 color or 80 gray-scale images.

SplashPhoto is available now for $19.95 direct from SplashData, and from leading online resellers including Handango, and PalmGear.

SplashPhoto supports all handhelds running Palm OS 3.1 or later, including the Palm IIIe, IIIxe, IIIc, V, Vx, VII, VIIx and m100; Handspring Visor, Deluxe, Platinum, and Prism; and Sony Clie. SplashPhoto Desktop, the companion software for uploading images, is available now for Windows 95, 98, NT4, 2000, and ME. The Mac version will ship shortly and supports Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X.
