This is interesting. Picsel Technologies was responsible for the Picsel Viewer, which was bundled with many Sony Clie PalmOS PDAs. They also later enhanced this product to include web browsing capability, Picsel Browser, which was available on some Samsung PalmOS handsets, I believe.
Picsel Viewer/Browser operates with the smooth drag and pan, and zooming methods as the iPhone's browser does, albeit, it was available some five years ago, and operated with single touch rather than multi touch. Just, no one seemed to pick up on it.
It was probably the handsdown best Office Document, PDF and Web page rendering software for PalmOS ever available. And in my opinion, it even trumps some of the offerings available for modern mobile operating systems these days/

Actually, it's still used in most Japanese non-smartphones for Office document and PDF viewing.
