3D gaming has landed on the Palm webOS platform!

3D gaming has landed on the Palm webOS platform! Seven 3D games are being introduced today in the Palm App Catalog for Palm Pre customers:

• Need for Speed Undercover (EA Mobile)
• The Sims 3 (EA Mobile)
• MONOPOLY (EA Mobile)
• Asphalt 5: Elite Racing (Gameloft)
• Let’s Golf! (Gameloft)
• Glyder 2 (Glu Mobile)
• X-Plane (Laminar Research)

Five other mobile games are also being introduced: EA Mobile’s Tetris, Sudoku, and SCRABBLE, and Gameloft’s The Oregon Trail and Brain Challenge. 

Thanks to some new capabilities offered by the Palm webOS Plug-in Development Kit (PDK), the seven 3D games feature graphics-intensive gameplay. The PDK extends the Palm webOS Software Development Kit (SDK) with a set of tools that enable the functionality needed for immersive 3D gaming. A public beta version of the webOS PDK is scheduled to be available to all developers in March.

More information about the webOS PDK is available at the newly updated Palm Developer Center. And if you’ve got the need for speed, check out the new games at www.palm.com/applications or in the Palm App Catalog on your Palm Pre.
