@ChrisB: I'm starting to wish that safari on my MacBook pro could do the same.
I'm not sure the experience would be as great on the desktop because the font is typically right size (or close to it) by default. Zooming would make it ridiculously large, which is often harder to read.
This also goes back to the idea that the "frame" is fixed on the iPhone, whereas the frame on a desktop machine is determined by the window size. This drastically changes what you get from a zoom.

Still, an interesting idea.
