I've bought the phone and installed the developer kit.

Will I be able to use g++ >= 4.6 to code natively to OpenGL at some point?

Well, "at some point" being whenever you get around to installing the NDK.

Cool! Someone (who ought to know) told me that wasn't possible. Thanks for correcting my misimpression.

Trust but verify.

Except for the "g++ >= 4.6" part, AFAIK.

http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.6/changes.html Android GCC now supports the Bionic C library and provides a convenient way of building native libraries and applications for the Android platform. Refer to the documentation of the -mandroid and -mbionic options for details on building native code. At the moment, Android support is enabled only for ARM.

I haven't tried it myself yet, know of a reason it wouldn't work?
