I've heard AMD making noise in the netbook market, but I've yet to hear any phone-grade CPU/GPUs announced.
Yes, you're right, AMD Ontario Fusion-apu has 9W TDP which is too high for smartphones. However, it is the only SoC GPU which will have an open source driver. PowerVR and Nvidia Tegra won't, and Intel cancelled Larabee.

Yes, but apps have to be ported similar to how apps have to become "iOS 4 ready".
