You can do them cheap. Look up the Pandaboard, Beagleboard, even the Siemens-Ericsson A9500 has a $200 (or $300) platform on the way called "Snowball." But at the same time there's also the OMAP4 Blaze platform, which is $1k+.

I imagine there could be one for Qualcomm, but haven't seen anything. And considering Qualcomm, quite frankly, I think they'd be repulsed at the notion of "working with the community."
