Just a bit of a clarification for you. :-) I know this is being pedantic, but just to avoid diluting the word:

A codec is literally short for Compressor / Decompressor. The origin is from the telecoms industry. These days in the computer world the word is perhaps more commonly short for Encode / Decode.

A GIF file (Graphics Interchange Format) is just that, your N900 would reference a graphics library to display this particular image format.
