Games on the Palm Pre are few and far between at the moment , no one would argue that it is not a weak point of the Pre. Despite the fact the Pre has an PowerVR SGX graphics chip on the inside it does virtually nothing. Most if not all of the rendering work is done by the processor and not by this powerful graphics chip.
Palm is trying to rectify this and it has taken the first step by hiring Matthew Tippett to its ranks. Matthew who began work for ATI in 2003 and subsequently started working for AMD in charge of their Linux Core Engineering program, has vast experience in the area. Seen as webOS is based on Linux OS the learning curve shouldn’t be too steep. Reading around on other blogs there is a real hope that Matthew can change the way webOS does things to make it a whole lot better for gaming.
Wether the Pre is the device to have great games on is a differnt issue and will be discussed at another time but at least there is hope for the future, no pressure Matthew.
