Does anyone know of any software that will let me view a Nikon (NEF) RAW taken from a D80 on a Palm OS PDA (mine's a Lifedrive)?

With my Panasonic FZ-20 previously I used the 480x320 "large" (well "large" compared to the LCD on the cam) screen to view images, and the 4GB internal HDD to back them up.

With the Nikon D80, currently I can still backup the NEF RAW images from my D80's SD cards to the Palm but can't think of any software that would allow me to view them.

The only workaround I have at present is to set the D80 to take the RAW image and save a basic quality JPG at the same time - I can then view the JPG on the PDA... but this obviously eats up previous megabytes on my SD cards.

In a word, no. Even Windows needs special drivers to do this, or the specific applications designed to handle RAW images. With Windows XP, there is a Microsoft driver. With Windows Vista, there is a Nikon Codec. With Palm, there is nothing.
