Problem in loading more number of PNG's in Cocos2d Game.Suggestion needed for "PNG to Pvr.ccz" convertion

In my Game i'm loading around 13-15 Png's which include few sprite sheets(6-7) of 2048x2048 dimension and others 1024x1024 and some 512x512.

and now i'm facing the huge memory warning. There is no way for me to reduce the number of sprite sheets in my game :(.

So, m thinking to convert all the 2048x2048 sprite sheets from png to pvr.ccz format.

Is that the optimal solution or Some thing else is there, which i'm completely missing?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

If all the PNG/texture images have to be available for each frame, then each will be stored uncompressed in texture memory and thus the memory problem. No GPU (to my knowledge) can render directly from a compressed PNG (or JPG for that matter) image.

The only options are to drop to, say, 4444 colour or to use PVRTC (probably at 4bpp). [Update: WRT PVRTC, I'm assuming this is an iphone game.]
