Touch-screen innovator, Picsel wins Queen's Award

Picsel Technologies is celebrating a double Queen’s Award for Enterprise "marking its success in International Trade and Innovation."

In an announcement this week, Picsel was able to boast of being "only the second company in the awards history to receive a Double Queen’s Award in the same year," and to celebrate the occasion, His Royal Highness (HRH), The Duke of York travelled to Picsel’s offices in Glasgow to meet Imran Khand, CEO of Picsel Technologies.

In an age when touch-screen technology is exciting fans of the iPhone, it's something of a mystery to many observers to see so many really quite ordinary touch-screen systems springing up on new phones - none of which can compete in the slightest with the ePage technology which Picsel's graphics engine  makes possible.

The Picsel system is much more powerful and versatile than the iPhone one, and much friendlier than anything Microsoft has yet integrated into Windows Mobile, and much quicker than Symbian or Nokia has managed. "Not Invented Here" seems to be restricting growth of a genuine innovation.
