Anything capable of playing HD content is going to have a binary blob. The Pi (at least the first version of it) used the same chipset that was in the Nokia N8. Even Nokia got given those blobs.

I also thought that, but then somebody here mentioned (in another topic), that the RK3388 from Rockchip runs entirely blobless. I'm having trouble digging up that post, but i'm sure I did not dream it. I'm hoping that statement applies to other members of the Rockchip family too.
