Or better yet, support the development of truly open hardware with that money. There are a few small groups and companies doing this, like the proposal for a SoC that just had general purpose processor cores, instead of dedicated video encoders/decoders and 3D acceleration. I am certainly willing to pay a bit extra (higher cost, reduced performance) for an open platform.
