Your analysis is wrong, mostly because the iPhone isn't comparable to a handheld in the way that it's designed. In order to run something, it needs to run it on top of its OS, meaning that it's more akin to a PC than a console. That OS will take up a good bit of processing power.
Plus, no face buttons and no stylus support = very limited input options.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
