SUGGESTED USES
So now that you have a little primer on what multimedia options are available, how can you get your feet wet? Of course, we suggest you download TealMovie (www.tealpoint.com/softmovi.htm) and give it a spin with one of the hundred or so free movies downloadable from our movie library. You'll be surprised at what your little handheld can do, and so will the folks that start appearing over your shoulder once you start playing some of these short flicks.

If you're feeling ambitious, you can try making your own TealMovies using the included Windows movie converter utility (a basic Macintosh utility should be ready in about a month). The utility reads in standard Windows AVI files and automatically scales, converts, and compresses them into TealMovie format. Use it to, say, convert that funny clip of your niece that you captured with your web cam or that funny commercial you got over email. The next time someone tries to impress you with photos of their family on their PDA, imagine their surprise when you counter with a full screen movie of your own.

And if you put together something that you'd like to share with the rest of the class (and it does NOT contain someone else's footage or music), we'd love to see it! Please send it to us by visiting our submissions page at www.tealpoint.com/submit.htm.
