Andres Colubri would be the one to ask, as he is doing the most work on this on the dev side... maybe he'll chime in.

Here are some posts from his blog:

But afaik they are one and the same...

a3d is for andriod apps and uses opengl es which for mobile platforms

opengl/(p3d in processing 2.0) opengl is for desktop platforms

Hello, A3D is the renderer for doing 3D graphics in Processing for Android. Internally is implemented using OpenGL.

A3D allows you to render 3D objects in Processing without having to learn the complexities of OpenGL. For advanced users, however, A3D might be somewhat limited. But you can still use OpenGL from your sketch, and mix low-level OpenGL calls with A3D functions. Take a look at the Nehe example that is included in the Android mode of Processing 1.5.1.
