The new Palm V (m505) is rumoured to be coming out with 16-bit color and here is a description of the various color depth: Number of colors displayed: Technically, the color display capabilities of a display is measured by the number of bits used to represent each dot on the screen. To simplify things, this can be converted into the total number of colors that can be reproduced: a 1-bit image is monochrome; an 8-bit image supports 256 colors or grayscales; a 12-bit image supports 4,096 colors, and a 16-bit image has 65,536. True color (24- or 32-bit graphics) is currently not supported by any of the major handheld PCs. From zdnet.com when you click on "Key Features" Mang
