A year after its original introduction at CES 2009, Palm has announced that it is bringing 3D gaming to the webOS platform. The company unveiled several titles from developers such as EA, Gameloft, Glu Mobile and Laminar Research.
There are a total of seven games, which include "Need for Speed Undercover", "The Sims 3", "MONOPOLY", "Asphalt 5: Elite Racing", "Let's Golf!", "Glyder 2" and "X-Plane". The games were demonstrated at CES and are already available in the Palm App Catalog for Palm Pre users.
Palm also release five other not so graphics-intensive mobile games: "Tetris", "Sudoku" and "SCRABBLE" from EA and "The Oregon Trail" and "Brain Challenge" from Gameloft.
"We are very excited about the potential of webOS as a platform for mobile 3D gaming. This is a key application category, and we've worked closely with some of the leading game developers to deliver a great game experience for our customers," said Katie Mitic, senior VP of Product Marketing at Palm.

so ,i see
I'm pretty impressed, I've always liked Palm, although, I think that this seems kind of copycat to the iPhone... I don't think either of them should try to market their smartphones as game consoles. They can certainly be used as such (I have loads of fun on my Tungsten T|5) but they're not particularly designed for that kind of thing.
I am impressed, though, that they're capable of those sort of games graphically.
