Its December 1998,
- Your terminals are 2bit -later to possibly go on to 256; therefore you
look into GIF and PNG.
- You want to use image formats that anybody can produce, internet standard;
therefore you look into GIF and JPG.
Thus GIF is selected.
Footnotes
- Nevermind the GIF patent issues that developed.
- JPEG seems to require greater processing power on the handset.
