8 bit clut (clut being Colour Look Up Table, aka Pallette, aka Indexed Colour) is used for a couple of reasons I belive...
A) Reduces file size
B) Some Pocket PC's may not be able to display a 16bit direct colour image.
C) Its limited by the file format (gif)

I'm sure there are lots of plugins and hacks to get 16bit direct colour images onto the today screen.
