Mesa's Android Support Is Currently In Bad Shape
While Mesa is talked about as being able to be built for Google's Android operating system to run these open-source graphics drivers on Android devices with OpenGL ES support, in reality there's a lot left to be desired.

This year as part of Google Summer of Code we also might see a student focused on Freedreno Android support.
