GIF support

Any app out there support gif images? I have a 2.1 ROM and the gallery only shows a still image. My POS Blackberry Pearl (first gen) was able to show them but my awesome Android power phone cannot?! This is madness!

Here ya go
Issue 3422 - android - Animated GIF not working in browser - Project Hosting on Google Code

Near the bottom

Quote:

Animated GIFs work on Froyo (unreleased) on large memory devices like the Motorola
Droid and the Nexus One. I'm leaving this issue open as we continue to investigate
viable solutions for smaller memory devices.

So its coming...sometime

I use Chandroid from time to time and there is an add-on that enables GIF support within the app. I've seen some commenters discussing how it should/could be enabled globally but I don't know.

However I have used the GIF plugin and can confirm it works within Chandroid

I know that the browser in a stock 2.2 rom shows animated gifs not sure if the gallery does as I did not test that before reverting back to cyanogenmod. Just can't live without cyanogen.
