Don't confuse android's java sdk with it's native development kit (NDK).
EGL, ES1 and ES2 was always available via NDK where it was supported by their GPU vendors,
since the native dynamic libraries were available.

If only I had some time and priorities for this .. it would have always been supported.

After 2.0-final we may have time / prio for this, hopefully.
It's not rocket science, but some tedious work to do.
We have a few development kits, ie OMAP etc.
Sure, if somebody is able to donate a few more up to date devices that would be great.

Let's say around January .. we will have something.
