Answer 1

Be careful. iPhone uses OpenGL ES which is a subset of Open GL. A good thought would be to look at this before you proceed.

Hope this helps. Thanks, Madhup

Answer 2

You can't just copy-paste a Windows OpenGL game to one of those platforms and have it work flawlessly. There are tools and engines which can help you develop games once and then have it work on multiple platforms (how well they work I can't say, however, I've never used them). If you check this question here on SO, there is a good list of choices from the OP, some of which had the aforementioned ability.

Answer 3

You cannot just simply port them, OpenGLES has only a subset of OpenGL functionalities, and there's no GLUT in ES. Besides, each openGL setup code eg:preparing canvas, loading texture can be different from platform to platform.
