  The iPhone 3GS has a 800+ MHz CPU, so it's not exactly slow.

  Strictly speaking, you can, even if it's a bit slower than on a full-sized
PC keyboard.

  But you could just put .pov files on the iPhone (or download them from
the net) and render them.

  480x320 on the iPhone, actually. But POV-Ray has never been limited to the
screen resolution.
