Oddly, I find this attitude perfectly acceptable at this point, but hey, what are you going to do? I have high hopes that Apple will really get into gaming at some point, but all indications are that it will have to wait a bit longer.

One thing I do find interesting though is the recent addition of Core Animation, it's an API that allows for simpler code to create 3D animations. It claims to be for user interfaces more than anything else...but with a bit of work I wonder if it could function in the same way that DirextX does for Windows.

My understanding of Core Animation, is that is also allows direct access to the GPU via the API. So, yes in some ways it could be a lot like direct X. The biggest issue would be to get developers to take advantage of it.
