In the desktop verson I´m able to set an image for each actor, I think it would be nice if this image would be displayed in the mobile version, too.

You're talking about 1000s of thumbnail images for actors especially for large collections. I don't think a lot of mobile devices would have the required storage capacity for that. But I could be wrong .

Most storage cards hold a gig of data so that should be possible if the storage card is used for the, well, storage medium.

I remember thinking recently that it would be a neat feature but I can see why it wouldn't be due to space issues.

I have a 2 gig SD card and with the front and back images I currently am using 25% of the card.  But if the Cast/Crew pictures were part of the database I'm sure the card would fill very quickly.

I would not mind seing this (yes, I know I do not have the mobile version yet, but that is due to HTC being slow releasing the 4550 model).

Obviously adding the pictures should be optionel, potentially with the option to set the size of them as well.

I do not buy the arguments about the size - why limit features from people with smaller collections from doing something, just because the few people with large collections won't be able to do it? And even with large collections, you can fit quite a lot of headshots in 8GB (or whatever decent sized memory cards are these days).

Seems like devices are going with MicroSD cards to keep the size small (with phone models at any rate).  The largest MicroSD card available at Fry's is 2 GB.  Seems like the average is 2 GB but there were a few 4 GB and two 8 GB if you go up in size from MicroSD.

First - I think that only should be a option and if someone don´t want or can use this she/he must not.
Second - I only think about the main actors for whitch I set images in the desktop version.

For a user built headshot db, it'll most likely be a non-issue.  But for a community headshot collection, totally different story.
