Yeah I know, at first it sounds like a neat idea. I felt that way
about the DOS version of ldglite, for a while...
Let's see. The parts library is about 30MB (5MB compressed) and your
average PDA sized image might be 100K. You could fit 50 images before
you take up the space of the compressed parts library. I don't know
about your friends, but mine get bored after looking at far less than
50 images. I'd say you're better off using pngcrush to squeeze some
more bytes out of the pictures.
Now, if you say you want to *create* LDR files on the PDA, then you
might be onto something that can't be done better with still images.
