It is lacking 3D acceleration so it's not really a "hot gaming machine".
Bluetooth, however, enables us to use an extern joystick like this one

There are a few games that work well with touchscreen like Lemmings or
Tower Defense ( http://novelconcepts.co.uk/FlashElementTD/ ).

Adaptions of board games would probably also be worthwile. Some graphical
adventure games will work just fine (I'm expecting a ScummVM port).
And I'm sure someone is just itching to get Freeciv running...
