batching will allow you to

batching will allow you to combine meshes together in to one draw call. There are some limits, but for mobile development, it can be a huge performance boosters.

Only in Pro-version

Just thought anybody who reads this should know that apparently only the pro-version of Unity 3 iPhone will have Occlusion Culling, despite the fact that the previous (1.7) non-pro version did have this feature.

I think they swapped it for integrated lightmapping, which although neat is not nearly as an important feature even for the hobbyists who can only afford the non-pro version. Darn shame, really.
