The Pre has a PowerVR graphics chips, just like the iPhone does, however, it's the operating system and the SDK that's the problem. The OS wants to be programmed in web based languages, which is not that 3d friendly at all. The iPhone on the other hand is programmed in some sort of iteration of C, which allows programmers direct access to the hardware. People are hoping that later on in the Pres lifecycly, Palm will open up deeper hardware access to the developers.
