I am thrilled on hearing about the unified API.  While at one point in time, mobile devices could barely pull of 3D graphics using OpenGL which is why OpenGL ES was made, those days are long gone and mobile devices can be as powerful as some peoples' aging laptops.

 

Also, OpenGL and OpenGL ES itself has the ability to use extensions.  If we are at the point where the desktop GPUs have newer features than mobile GPUs, then these features should just live in extensions.  These extensions can be queried for their existence and support through the driver to see if the advanced feature should be enabled in your game project.

 

So indeed, the days of OpenGL and OpenGL ES should end very, very soon.
