Creating screenshots for Palm OS software reviews is easy - the wannabe reviewer can choose from a plethora of well-done screenshot tools that run natively on the handheld of choice. PocketPc screenshot tools usually are either Pc-based or can’t capture photos of open menus(clicking the trigger button closes the menu). When reviewing Resco Photo Viewer, I noticed that Resco ships a cool screenshot freebie along it - can it stack up?
Starting Screen Capture pops up the menu shown below. Tapping Capture captures the screen immediately after closing the form. Clicking on after 10s closes the form and captures the screen after 10 seconds:
Clicking Settings opens the menu below - you can choose BMP, PNG and JPG image formats:
Here’s a photo of an open menu:
To cut a long story short, Screen Capture is the best screenshot tool for PocketPC. The delayed screenshot facility allows you to capture snapshots of open menus and other things that are impossible to capture otherwise. While I’d welcome a trigger button, the variety of supported output formats completely compensates this omission. This program alone is worth the price of Resco Photo Viewer..
