Comments on: New Video Tools for the Palm

Generic Media today announced the release of the gMovie Maker and gMovie Player, letting Macintosh and Windows users convert and play back color video, animation, and still image files for any Palm OS handheld. gMovie Maker can take a wide variety of digital formats, including MPEG-1, QuickTime, and Macromedia Flash. gMovie Player is free. The gMovie Maker is available as a free trial. Users can upgrade to the full version for $30.

Wouldn't a full movie eat the palm's memory pretty fast?

Yeah. But here's what you do. ;-) There's some guy who says he can upgrade a Prism to 16 MB of Ram. Then you buy a 16 MB flash card. Viola! I don't seriously recommend this but I'm sure someone will be doing just that. I am serious that there's someone upgrading Prism's to 16 MB though.

 Cool!

I am glad to see that, yet again, Macs were mentioned here. I am also glad that someone \bFINALLY created a Palm movie maker for the Mac!

Perhaps I should HotSync some of Apple's commercials to my Palm. ;-)

 No sound hugh?

Lack of sound capability, what a pity! ActiveSky, TealMovie is still my better alternative. However rich of supported media format to convert, is the nice thing of this stuff. Please consider this feature and I'll purchase 1 license:)
