I am having trouble finding information related to which i should choose, OpenGL ES 1.1 or 2.0 for 2D graphics.

OpenGL ES 1.1 on Android is a bit limited to my knowledge, and based purely on sprite count the only useful renderer is draw_texture() (as far as i know). However, that does not have rotation and rotation is very important to me.

Now with the NDK adding support for OpenGL ES 2.0, i am trying to figure out if there is anything that preforms as well as draw_texture(), but can handle rotation.

Anyone have any information on if 2.0 can help me in this area?
