JPEG Images
In addition to WBMP, the 4625SW’s Web browser supports renderings of JPEG images. JPEG
stands for the Joint Photographic Experts Group, and is a digital image file format designed for
maximal image compression. JPEG uses “lossy” compression in such a way that, when the
image is decompressed, the human eye does not find the loss too obvious. The amount of
compression is variable and the extent to which an image may be compressed without too
much degradation depends partly on the image and partly on its use. JPEG is designed for
compressing either full-color or gray-scale images of natural, real-world scenes. It works well on
photographs, naturalistic artwork, and similar material. JPEG does not work as well on lettering,
simple cartoons, or line drawings. JPEG handles only still images.
Image Rendering
The mime type for the WBMP is image/vnd.wap.wbmp. The mime type for the JPEG image is
as follows:
Without a mime type, the Web servers are not able to process JPEG files.
Due to the current browser implementation, no text is rendered on the same line as an image. If
a page author attempts to include both text and image on the same line, the image is rendered
first, followed by the text.
Extension Mime Type
jpe image/jpeg
jpeg image/jpeg
jpg image/jpeg
