Summary : Takes live video from your Treo camera and turns it into a jigsaw puzzle! (can also use photos if you don't have Treo)
Description : Video Jigsaw takes live video from the Treo camera and makes the jigsaw puzzle of it. When used without a camera it switches to the built-in animation - randomly generated 'city' view with fireworks and spotlights reflecting in water.
On most new new devices you can also use the third option - turn your personal photos into puzzles (requires the Palm/PalmOne Media application or Tapwave Zodiac Photos application)
Of course this application is completely useless, except that everyone should try it at least once to experience this unusual feeling of dragging fragments of the reality ;-)
Guide
Selecting image source
Click the icon in the top right corner and select one of 3 options:
1.Built-in Animation - Available on all devices. This animation is meant as a replacement for live video on devices where the camera is not supported. You will get a slightly different view each time you start the puzzle, because the skyscrapers and all moving elements are placed randomly. The animation can be paused by clicking the green triangle ('play' button).
2.Select Picture - Just select a photo from your personal collection and turn it into a jigsaw puzzle. Does not work on video clips, even if your Media application supports it. This feature is available on recent Palm/PalmOne devices equipped with Media application (i.e. most Tungsten and Zire models, LifeDrive, Treo 650 and 600) and Tapwave Zodiac
3.Live Camera - The coolest feature - make a jigsaw from a live video from your camera! Requires Treo 600 or 650. The live video can be paused by clicking the green triangle ('play' button).

Randomness
Did you know? Each time you start a puzzle the pieces are cut in a different way, a different background pattern is created and (in case of the built-in animation) skyscrapers are ordered differently!
