Are you sure about that? I mean, theoretically it's possible - but will it be so implemented in Sailfish?
That's the only reason I can see for keeping OpenGL ES in the tablet. IMHO, there's a mountain of reasons to move to OpenGL proper, and it'd be head-scratching not to.
Also, it's not theoretical; this is a 64-bit tablet powered by Intel. It's 100% possible.

@ 201%. Still going! 
Update: $764,532. Will it make it a Million Dollar today?

I don't need a tablet, so I haven't decided yet if I will buy it, but OpenGL is a pro for me indeed...Best regards,

BUT... It was easily hackable and some kind soul made a Debian image for it. It ran fine and, to answer your question, detected the touch screen as a mouse, no problem there.
The main problem and the reason I stopped using it was the size. 7" is too big to be portable and too small to use as stationary. So no, thanks, no Jolla tablet for me. I already have a Jolla tablet. It's called JP-1301.

It's the same OS, with different scaling options / UI. Also, do you seriously think any prospective developer is going to port their OpenGL ES based apps to Sailfish, if Jolla made the barmy decision to switch to OpenGL? Besides, what possible advantage would there be? ES is tailored specifically to the mobile space and to be less complex and more efficient.

How do 64bit or it being Intel have anything to do with this? Address space means nothing. If you think it somehow makes it more powerful, well the CPU side is going to be a lot weaker than any quad core A57 chip (which will predominate by the time it's released) and is similar to a Snapdragon 805 / a bit slower than chips popping up now based on A53 cores, and this is the case even though the Z3580 present in the N1 and (presumably Jolla) is the fastest SKU. As for the PowerVR GPU, it is comparable to the plethora of PowerVR designs in ARM SoCs now.
Also, to all the people who think it will have an Intel in-house GPU ... how? There are no in-house Intel GPU designs for Intel's tablet / phone chips. Nor will there be for the forseeable future.
