i doubt you can find any proper opensource graphics hardware in the
mobile market currently, the same goes for the modems ...

also the idea of the Edge is ... well, to use HW on the current edge of
performance (while still maintaining a proper battery life), this will
likely only be possible with some bigger silicon partner who can produce
such HW in bigger amounts to keep it at a payable price.
