There's a long tutorial on Open GL on Jeff LaMarche's blog.

The following questions might also be helpful:

• What are some good iPhone 3D / 2D OpenGL ES game tutorials?
• Best iPhone framework for 2D platform games
• OpenGL ES as a 2D Platform
• Positioning elements in 2D space with OpenGL ES

Answer 3

And very definitely check out Cocos2D for iPhone as part of your due diligence.

If you want a sprited 2D game, learning GL and writing an engine yourself from scratch is not necessarily the most time-efficient way to go about it, despite being an awesome learning experience.

I agree with @quixoto. Check out Cocos2d.
