By "OpenGL", Mark meant "OpenGL ES 2.0" and eventually "OpenGL ES
3.0". When developing apps for both OpenGL and OpenGL ES it is best to
use the common subset of both APIs. ES2 is limited in some senses
(namely, no uniform buffer objects or multiple render targets), but
ES3 will bring those to the table eventually.

Best,

Sam
