Do you think that they want to make profit? Didn't Arrington said that the whole device will be open source?

Open source just means Arrington won't need to pay coders to write the software, and will get to enjoy discounts from people who have contacts to help build the hardware.
You say that like it's a bad thing.
just clarifying, since it sounded like he thought open source = non-profit
not a profit incentive. we just want cool hardware and want it to be open
