Why Blackberry decided to launch their new BBOS10 platform with an old OpenGL ES 2.0 limited Qualcomm SoC, I do not know, but there is no reason to replicate that idiocy. Sailfish can, I believe, use Android linux drivers from SoC vendors, important, as no-one is going to release a Sailfish specific linux driver for their SoC. Well, it looks like the revolution has arrived: http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/a...oogle-employee Even if Jolla's software stack launches with OpenGL ES 2.0 drivers and function, do not destroy the possibility of moving the WHOLE platform to the newer standard by using sub-standard hardware in the launch devices. Sailfish v1.1 six months down the line can always adopt the newer drivers and function, ensuring that forever afterwards developers can target the new API safe in the knowledge of complete platform support. Jolla have shown themselves forward thinking by launching Sailfish with Wayland, don't let the side down now!
