Sony had these on their Clié (Palm OS) devices as well.

I’ve only ever had first-party Palm handhelds, but the scroll wheel (Sony had some nifty name which is eluding me) always seemed very appealing for single-handed use.

Had a Palm III then a Clié back then. The Jog Dial was absolutely awesome.

Then got a LifeDrive, missed every bit of the Jog Dial. Probably the most iPhone-esque thing before the iPhone was a thing though.
