OpenGL ES 1.1 vs 2.0 for 2D Graphics, with rotated sprites?

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?

OpenGL ES 2.0 will not be of much more help than OpenGL ES 1.1. Can't you just draw your sprites using textured quads?

What hardware?

Whether textured quads and the modelview matrix multiplies are hardware accelerated (hence fast) depends on your hardware and drivers, not your OS or OpenGL ES version.
