Why yet another mirror program, you might ask?
Well, I was just like you and downloaded several mirror programs from this site (I tested 9 of them).
Being a Palm programmer, I discovered that they all:
- Were bigger than they needed to be
- Crashed with memory errors when I checked them in development mode (all but 1 caused problems)
- Repainted the screen slow enough that I could see it happen or didnt use the whole screen
- Most werent free. Therefore, in the course of a few minutes, I whipped out the smallest, fastest, and most stable mirror program for the Palm, free for the world. (Ok, it is the second smallest, but only because I wanted to include a menu and "About" screen. See the "About" screen for more information)
In case you havent heard of Palm Pilot mirror programs, they are useful by turning your Palm screen into a mirror or flashlight. They typically turn the whole screen black to allow you to view yourself easily.
Also, since the whole screen is colored, turning on backlighting on newer devices will allow you to use your handheld as a flashlight or nightlight.
For older devices, there is also an option to turn the screen white, because older backlights illuminate only the white pixels. Note: a screen protector limits the effectiveness of this utility.
YAMP uses the whole screen for reflections, and you can switch between black and white by tapping anywhere on the screen. It works with normal, color, and high-resolution screens.
I know, YAMP is a pointless contribution to the advancement of technology, but it only took a few minutes of coding and you know that you're going to use it (I do more than I thought I would). Enjoy!

So far the best mirror program I've tried. If you have a hi-res Sony, you need to disable hi-res for this program - otherwise it only paints half the screen black. But once that's done, it works great.

What can I say, it's another mirror app. It is a small app, clean UI and has a catchy name.(atleast compared to my app's name,"Reflecticus") The developer is very responsive to e-mails. I thank him.
