@Hadron = Apple is only close-fisted against 3rd party development tools on the iPod/phone.

There is quite a large market for 2d games still, in my opinion. Most of this though is made up in casual games on large portal sites, at least, that's the most visible I've found.

I think I'll fiddle around with this engine some time tonight, but personally I'm really just waiting for SDL 1.3 to be released (because it'll have hardware acceleration without accessing OGL directly), and is already cross platform.
