about images on real device

Most of the phones only support PNG images (PNG is a patent Free format) other images are not shown and the program execution hangs-up.
We were thinking earlier that hanging is due to improper threading but when we used a spike(a small program written for testing we found out that when the spike is passed the url of png image it shows up, but when the url of a gif image is passed it does not show but hangs, we have not tested with other image formats, but feel that png solves our need for now.
We are going to use IMageMagic for resizing( and converting the images to png ) the images to suit our needs.
