    I have an application which modifies documents and outputs them in a number of formats. I want to send the output file to a mobile device. I have a couple of questions. What is the best format to save the file? i.e. jpeg? gif? etc...What is the best way to send the file to the mobile device?

    As an aside, are there any websites that will allow me to submit a picture to it and send that file onto a mobile device?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hobart.

    jpeg or gif are fine. jpeg is the standard. gifs are mostly used for animations. you can send the pics to the phone by:
    bluetooth
    infra red
    data cable
    or
    upload the picture anywhere on the net and go to the address of the pic in the phones gprs browser

    eg you could submit a reply on this thread and attach the picture, then go to the address in the phones browser. it'll cost 1 to 3c a kb depending on your network tho

    Thanks for that Commander. Is there any way I can send the picture directly to the phone via IP or SMTP without having to get the phone to browse to the picture?

    ^ "upload the picture anywhere on the net and go to the address of the pic in the phones gprs browser"

    As CV said: Host it somewhere (there are free hosts..)- then pop in the address on your phones browser and it'll download. Alternatively, if you have email setup on the phone - email it to yourself and it'll be downloaded...

    I'm trying to avoid having to get the phone to initiate the connection to the net. I want the picture to be pushed to the phone as opposed to the phone pulling the picture.
