>>Exactly. You can pretty much count on hardware R4 vertex and texture cord computation/projection and hardware accelerated texturing. The current iPhone is ARM11 based, so you'll have CPU-side floating point and decent CPU performance, but you're probably going to blow through the battery like a madman unless you perform mass computation and rendering sparingly. This all assumes, of course, that Apple decides to offer a real SDK and not some cheesy widget API, etc.

>>I have to imagine one of the biggest dilemmas Apple is facing is that if they offer a SDK that really opens up drawing/rendering, battery performance will fall into the toilet under any rendering-intensive app (games, etc). Then you've get every non-tech iPhone user out there badmouthing Apple when they really just don't appreciate the power the hardware consumes when the CPU and graphics hardware is fully loaded._______________________________________________
