TinyPaintMorph may be a great starting point.

I modified the regular browser for an older (0.01) version of Dynapad,
that was basically the single-class view with the method list moved to the
bottom and a 'find' button.  The method list at the bottom worked pretty
well- turning on the WinCE (or Qtopia?) character recognition space on the
bottom covered it up, but none of the method text.  This only required the
addition of one method on Browser.  You may want something more than just
this which is somewhat hackish but better than using the regular browser.
(IMHO)

On the desktop so far.  However, I tried out a bunch of the morph caching
you recomended and found performance increased a lot.  Planning on giving
it a whirl on an iPAQ pretty soon.
