Today at CES Palm announced the release of some high-powered games for webOS. Electronic Arts CEO Travis Boatman was on hand to talk about the new SDK and show of some new apps, including Sims 3 and Need For Speed. These games support full 3D graphics and look quite good. As you can imagine, there's a full set of APIs to make this work. The new apps will be available today. Exciting stuff, people.
