My own one can display full screen picture, and fotovision doesn't ;-)

http://www.codeppc.com/dotnet/ search Pex with all C# source code.

But I'm very interested in an efficient algorithm to rotate pictures, the available version uses managed GetPixel/SetPixel and this is awfully slow.

I've done a new version (not yet published) that uses the access to the internal bitmap structure which with a can create a in memory bitmap for rotation. That's quicker (more than 2 times faster) but it remains too slow (> 2mn to rotate a 1024*768 pixel picture).

That's why I'm waiting for the .Net CF2 (previously announced with picture rotation), but the tech preview doesn't contain what I'm waiting for.

Pex looks like a great app.

FotoVision Pocket is an app of a larger sample; desktop app that shares
photos on a website and exposing a web service that allows a Pocket PC app
to download and view photos offline. It can display photos using the full
client area (caption still visible), but it would have been nice to display
full screen like you mention.
 
FotoVision Pocket does not do any rotating or resizing on the Pocket PC
device for the exact reasons you mentioned. It would have been nice to
download one photo from the web service and then manipulate it on the
device. Instead, it tells the web service the size photo it wants to
download and if horizontal photos should be rotated or not, the web service
manipulates the photos and sends the bits down to the Pocket PC.
 
I've downloaded the software and verified what you say before your message. So, I'll continue to look at a way to efficiently rotate the images.
