If say an image format can be "progressively" loaded, could that then mean that a device with a small (say 50x50) screen's UA could read just the first few bytes of the image to render a 50x50 "thumbnail" (or even better, a special focus area) of the image. This would avoid having the entire image transferred on a typically limited (thin and noisy) wireless network connection. It would also save expensive/limited memory/computation of resizing the image on the device. When it comes to zooming on the image, perhaps a protocol to read the next few bytes through the network efficiently... Is the "progressive loading" feature what I am looking for?Received on Thursday, 16 December 2004 05:51:34 UTC
