which is better SplashPhoto or Acid Photo?

By any chance, do you mean Acid Image photo viewer?

If you really mean Acid Photo, then I suggest that you also consider Acid Image version 3.0 as an alternative viewer.

The biggest advantage is its ability to show native jpeg files (and others) without conversion. You can transfer files to your SD card and view it straight away on your Palm.

The new version can receive files by IR or bluetooth and save these directly to the cards. You can also resize any picture to various sizes prior to sending it to your phone for MMS, etc.

I also purchased a Splash Photo software but has seldom used it due to conversion requirements.
 
I haven't plaed with Acid Image as I use SplashPhoto.

SplashPhoto does have the ability to view native jpeg files. I have taken SD cards right out of a camera, placed them in my T3 and viewed the photos there. It also has the ability to zoom to 100% actual image size, do slide shows, and view photos by lists, thumbnail images, or details as well as adjust from the slider being closed to it being open.
 
AcidImage is hands down better than SplashPhoto because

1) While the older SplashPhoto versions configured a strange 75k .pdb which was unviewable by other apps, the later version makes them a simple .jpg - but keeps a copy on the PC and if that is deleted you lose the handheld image. AcidImage does not make copies on the PC and doesn't convert, and allows dragging and zooming. If you run both apps, Splash will "take over" AI images and STILL put a copy on the desktop!

2) AI Pro enables viewing of GIF, bmp and TIFF files as well.
People have had problems with AI 3.0 (posted on forum) but 2.9 seemed to run WELL. It does make some AIthumb.db files which if not handled properly when images are deleted can cause the program to crash. Be sure and use AI to delete images rather than a file utility. Other than that it's fantastic. Second choice for me would be RescoViewer with Splash coming third.
