"The company designed software [Picsel] that allows you to view almost any content on most handheld devices. The talent shows in the incredible efficiency and versatility of the software. By any content, I mean a list that includes Acrobat's PDF, Microsoft's Word and Macromedia's Flash. Nor does it need any conversion process to open a document. In fact, it opens Acrobat PDF files open faster on my humble Pocket PC than Acrobat's own reader does on my fully-featured PC. And in web browser mode, it handles most websites beautifully. I have almost stopped using my desktop computer because Picsel on my handheld computer is so elegant."
The downside is this software is only available in an OEM bundle. No Pocket PCs have it yet, but the article author, Mohammad Al-Ubaydli, claims that Pocket PCs with it preinstalled are coming.
