There's just so much tasty video content around these days it seems a shame not to be able to enjoy it anywhere you go. Whether it's a DVD, a YouTube video, or just a WMA file, Mobiola Video Studio Pro is designed to help take a movie from its original format and prepare it for use on your Palm.

The application has support for all of the major video file formats, and provides a pretty simple drag-and-drop interface for converting a movie to the right format and at an optimal resolution so you can display it, without any problem, on the screen of your handset. While it's pretty beginner-friendly there are also plenty of options to jiggle around with if you're one of those people who likes to jiggle around with options on their PDA.

Besides defining the output format, you can set the finished quality and resolution of your video. In the case of movies taken from DVD, you can even play around with the language, enable or disable subtitles, transfer files, and more.

In short, Mobiola Videos Studio Pro provides an effective way of converting and optimising video for use on your Palm device.

If you're a creative sort of person then often you might get the urge to start doodling while you're sat around. If there's no pen and paper handy then you might want to consider installing a drawing application on your handheld device.

HandPainter is a simple piece of software that allows you to draw and design digital images on your Palm, and is a free, scaled-down version of HandPainter-PRO. Installation is a little fiddly than most programs as you need to install three separate files onto your device to get it running.

Once you've done this you'll be presented with a blank canvas and a range of icons that represent tools such as sketch, paint, fill, spray and shapes. There are some extra icons at the top that let you perform tasks like clearing the page, undoing, and save/load.

It's not a particularly professional looking interface - the icons are very blocky and the toolbar seems very squashed. Nevertheless, the tools on offer can be accessed pretty quickly once you figure out what they all do and are sufficient enough for creating rough doodles and sketches like you might create in MS Paint.

It's hardly the prettiest paint program ever, but it's good for satisfying your creative urges while you're sat on the bus.

It sounds impressive but Pocket DVD Wizard can reduce 4 DVD's to just 512MB in size without losing a great deal of quality.

This is great news if you're going away fro an extended period of time and want your favourite movies with you. The program works with both standard Pocket PCs and high resolution 640x480 VGA Pocket PCs. It allows you to select the image quality that you are satisfied with and watch the converted video in full screen mode without "letterbox" style black bars above and below the picture. The developers claim that it also works with Windows based Portable Media Center players, such as the Creative Labs Zen PMC or the iRiver PMP-120. This includes Windows based Smartphones such as the iJam and Motorola MPX handsets. Apart form the impressive compression ratios, what strikes you immediately is the ease of use of this program. There's very few clicks required to compress a DVD and it works pretty quickly compared to similar efforts. The fact that it supports to many output devices also distinguishes it from the rest - it can output to anything from a Pocket PC to an iPod or PSP. I also like the fact that it allows you to highly customise the ripping process, if you choose to, so that you can remove unnecessary files such as subtitles and extras.

There's not much to fault with Pocket DVD Wizard - if you like your movies on the go and have multiple devices, then you should look no further.

If you've ever watched a nature programme on The Discovery Channel you've probably seen flowers growing at break-neck speeds or white clouds flying through the sky and suddenly becoming thunder storms. The smart ones among you will know this is all created through time-lapse photography, and now you can produce exactly the same footage from your mobile. Rapid Movie works by recording images at a rate much slower than normal. Then when the film is played back the recording is actually faster. However there is more. With Rapid Movie you can also record stop motion animation.

The footage recorded with Rapid Movie is excellent but you will need a Treo to use it. One of the other problems is that for best results you need to try and make sure your mobile is fixed in a single position. Otherwise the effect is somewhat spoilt. And of course you need patience and time. However some of the animation I have seen recorded with the software is brilliant. Plus it's really good fun.

After the huge success of portable MP3 players, it was only ever going to be a matter of time until mobile video took off in the same way. As portable movie players become more and more popular, the temptation to buy one of these sleek, spanking new devices becomes almost unbearable! But wait! As the proud owner of a Palm PDA, you probably already have the hardware necessary to enjoy video on-the-hop. All you need now is a piece of reliable, free software to convert and optimise your movie files for mobile use. PocketDivXEncoder is that piece of software.

The installation procedure for this application was a breeze, mainly because there wasn’t one! It was refreshing to see that a simple program didn’t need to touch the registry in order to run, let alone force us to restart the computer (as all Nokia’s apps do). So as soon as you download the program, you’re ready to go. The program itself was pretty easy to use, with controls and settings which should be familiar to anyone who’s even come close to thinking about video compression in the last five years. For those who haven’t, all you really need to do is tell the program which device you’ll be using and it’ll do all the work for you.

Experts will likely balk at the lack of fine-tuning tools available in PocketDivXEncoder but its ‘advanced options’ dialogue allows for greater control over such features as 2-Pass Encoding, XviD Compression, audio Live Effect and more. A really impressive little feature is the live clip resizing tool which allows you to preview your video while changing its dimensions - handy if you’re working with a device which doesn’t have native support from PocketDivXEncoder.

The most important factor in video conversion and compression tools is the quality of the end product. It’s no good reducing a movie to 4MB and rendering it completely unwatchable in the process. PocketDivXEncoder performed admirably when converting our (fairly high quality) test video, achieving good video compression without losing much detail. Small changes we did notice was a slight alteration to colour and brightness balance on the picture and an almost imperceptible shift in audio-video sync. These issues reflect the fact that this is not a professional level tool but then again they’re almost impossible to spot without really hunting for them.

Working with PocketDivXEncoder is on the whole a pleasing, simple and rewarding experience. That a free application can offer such reliable performance and high quality – at levels often missing from other, highly priced software – says a lot about what a good freeware program should look like. If you’re looking to convert video to fit your PDA, all you need is PocketDivXEncoder.
