Munch those images with PNG Monster

Posted by in J2ME

For maximum compatibility, J2ME apps have to be as small as possible. The majority of space in apps are the images. Because it quite processing intensive to resize images on the fly, most developers keep multiple image sizes to cater for multiple screen sizes. To keep your PNG images as small as possible, use a PNG compressor. The one I use is PNG Monster.

A very good example of a J2ME app bloated due to not doing this is Fring. Their app could be half the size it is now.
