actually today Kate was saying that OpenGL ES 1.? (too late & lazy to recall now) works as well and there is a version available internally that seems to work. I don't know more details but surely she and knikkane do know more.

and speaking of iPhone developers, it's interesting to see that iPhone is moving to OpenGL ES 2.0. I wonder how easy/complex will be to port such apps between both platforms.

I guess that should be easy to do such ports

I'm also guessing, but I suspect that the core of most games on the iPhone may well be using underlying OpenGL ES technology; but they'll be written in ObjectiveC.
Notwithstanding whether or not ObjectiveC compilers are available for other platforms, the monetisation of the App Store discourages people from publishing their source code.

, but you can also write C or C++ OpenGL code that will run in the iPhone (xcode will do the required translation).* "When you see Objective-C code for the first time in your life, your stomach will turn and your eyes won't know where to look and you will feel dizzy."

My iphone game is pure c++, not objective c. Iphone devkit comes with gcc, then any language supported by gcc could be compiled by the iphone sdk and runs on iphone with no problems. There are some changes with opengl and opengl-es, glbegin/glend/glvertex/glnormal... it is not suported on opengl-es, it only supports vertex arrays and vbo. That is faster than use glvertex or glnormal etc... but a lot of software that runs with opengl must to be rewrited for opengl-es.

I would assume that actually getting some decent games to the maemo platform will require paid content delivery model. Game development tends to require so much effort and time that getting paid is really needed. Now, trinket games is another thing. Fortunetely, for that niche (?) maemo has flash runtime. I would really not write trinket games on anything else but flash.
