Ever since the iPhone SDK rollout people have been wondering just how powerful a gaming platform the iPhone will turn out to be. We saw some impressive demos at the rollout event and, the ARM processor powering the iPhone and iPod touch runs at nearly twice the clockspeed of the Sony PSP. But what of 3D hardware? How deftly can Apple’s new mobile platform push the polygons?

Based on the recently demonstrated port of id’s Quake 3 to the iPod touch, the answer is: rather deftly, indeed. And as for control, the integrated accelerometers seem rather up to the challenge of delivering precise control to this classic first-person shooter.

Have a look at the demonstration video. It’s a fluid framerate throughout which says much about just what the iPhone platform will offer game developers and game players, alike.
