Quite so. Another reason why it might be kind of cool if there were an alternative. > Since you need high performance graphics there may not be an existing > solution.

Well, "open hardware" can mean more than one thing (more than one level). It could just mean an open PCB for an existing chipset. Not as exciting as a fully-open processor, but it'd be something. I understand however that Google did release a core for a VP8 hardware decoder -- presumably that could be part of an open GPU in the future.
