Like I see games for iphones or android phone, the graphics in them looks very good. But when I try to make one or use some from google image search it does not look. Can you suggest some design tutorials or ebooks. Thanks Hi,

Screen size may vary based on the model. Hi Sandy,

Majority of phones today in the market support JPG (JPEG) image format, MP3 audio and MP4 Video. Screen size may vary based on the model.

Now since there are many standards and there are many more mobile handsets in market, it is highly important for Telecom vendors like us to support transcoding. It would be great if you can provide link or information about the consolidated formats - Audio, Video and Image format, supported in any mobile or at least one mobile among all mobile out there!

The GIF format will always lose colors as the most it can support is 256 colors. The banding which you see in the sample image has been manipulated using an image editing program. If you view the same image on any mobile which supports 65k colors will look very close to what I have shown.

I took this image and cropped out the 16.7M colour part and then converted it to an 8 bit graphic (256 colours) optimized using the <strong>Adaptive</strong> algorithm and it looked very good.  I can only assume this image was deliberate set this way to show the possible difference in colour palettes.
