OUTLOOK

Using (i)Paris menus and selector is straighforward, as summarized below:

SYSTEM REQUIREMENT

(i)Paris is supported by all PDA running PalmOS, from version 3.1 (e.g. Palm III) to version 5.0 (and next), and requires about 150 kbytes of main memory.

(i)Paris automatically adapts its graphics to the optimal resolution: High Density (320x320) or standard (160x160) - Color or Black&White.

All previous screenshots have been saved under PalmOS 4.1, in standard color mode. Please find below a gallery of other examples, with a SONY Clié running PalmOS 5 (French) in color, a Palm Tungsten running PalmOS 5, a SONY Clié running grayscale PalmOS 5, and last but not least, a good old Palm III running PalmOS 3.3.

Note: SONY already used a proprietary 320x320 resolution called HiRes, which is not supported here because SONY also adopted the PalmOS 5 high density standard. On SONY Clié running Palm OS 4.X, (i)Paris will run nicely, but in standard mode: 160x160.

REFERENCE

(i)Paris features more than 340 stations, 16 Metro lines, 5 RER lines and the VAL line.
