Sorry about that. You're right - the Palm Photos application is a
Windows only option.


And the last one is the simplified "Getting Started
with Photos (yeah...I wish..), Music and Videos".
On pg 3 it says to use the "SEND TO DROPLET" to
transfer images after the HotSync opp. Ha-Ha-Ha...
really??? Nothing happens! I've tried JPGs, PDFs,
GIFs all small files and nothing... (snip)


This is one of those times where it would be nice to have a Mac
sitting in front of me. I occasionally use one for work (but rarely
for Palm related activities), while I have a PC sitting in front of me
here at home. Anyway, check the "Send to Handheld" droplet for any
missed settings, though I doubt settings are the real problem.
Regardless, check that you're sending the files to the correct user
(the correct user name for your device).

Here is a web site outlining the steps to transfer graphics files
from a Mac to a Palm...

Perhaps you can find something there.


It's really something either stupid that I'm missing
or in fact it's impossible to upload and view
pictures on this E2, maybe defective??? (snip)


I doubt there is anything wrong with the Palm hardware itself. This
sounds much more like a software or user issue. I assume you have no
problems synching other items to the Palm, which suggests the conduits
are setup correctly.

Try manually installing the graphics files using the "Install
Handheld Files" window. Transfer them just as you would any other
application or file. Do remember you need an application on the Palm
to view the files (iPhoto or some other image editing application).

If that works, focus again on that "Send to Handheld" droplet as the
source of the problem (settings, damaged, currupt, or whatever).

Really wish I could offer something more concrete.
