OpenGL ES games being made for Windows Mobile
Our smartphones have been sporting OpenGL ES hardware acceleration for around 2 generations now, but the main software taking advantage of this has been HTC’s Touchflo3D.
Korean mobile company MindPol hopes to change this, producing software which uses OpenGL ES 1.1 to produce graphically engaging games which should work on HTC devices (MSM72xx CPU or higher) or Sony Xperia and Samsung Omnia 2.
Hopefully we will see an increasing number of companies jumping on this bandwagon, especially now that hardware acceleration has become rather standard in in the majority of Windows Mobile smartphones.

Did they manage to make it work on Omnia 2 ? as far as I know, OGLES libraries are still not available for developpers, are they ?

theres no problem with opengl es on the omnia 2. its just that only opengl es 2.0 is supported, which i think is much better. the older versions are horrible.
