Theres a ton of casual 3d games on the iphone right now :)

I think a lot of small teams or indies are making 2D simply cause its easier.

Less technical work and well less technical art assets.

About 1/2 the engines I listed are full 3D engines that can also do 2D.

Unity, Shiva, SIO2 are all mainly full featured 3D engines for example.

Unity web games are accepted on Shockawave.com and other traditionally
casual flash games sites.
