  if you want to experiment on opengl es, you might want to check :
  http://developer.hybrid.fi/dgles/index.html (opengles wrapper library
  that makes calls to opengl)
  This is a nice way to check if your program is 'opengl es' compatible.

  Yep, most likely all the opengl es chip manufacturers provide a driver
  aswell, I don't know any better than that though.
