thanks, just to clear it up a bit,
- is there special kind of GPU that is "OpenGL ES" certified or whatever?
- if yes, which graphic cards are "OpenGL ES", and are there any AGP, PCI-E or other that i can stick in PC or laptop? 
-or maybe this "OpenGL ES" GPUs are 'too small' for that or maybe they only come integrated with other hardware in those mini-devices? is OpenGL ES exclusively for other(smaller) hardware, not PC?
-are there maybe some special OpenGL ES drivers for some of my geforce and radeon cards i have in PC or laptop?

 if you want to experiment on opengl es, you might want to check :
 http://developer.hybrid.fi/dgles/index.html (opengles wrapper library
 that makes calls to opengl)
 This is a nice way to check if your program is 'opengl es' compatible.

 Yep, most likely all the opengl es chip manufacturers provide a driver
 aswell, I don't know any better than that though.
