smells like fear. Intel's new penny sized x86 chip is gonna shake things up a bit in the handheld department. hmmmm, windows ce... or xpe on a mobile,... tough choice. full software scaled down versions? I think arm has seen it's day as a leader come, and soon to go. linux is their only hope, even that though, why use arm if you can run x86 without needing to port anything? why report software just for the heck of it?
there are very few apps to port to ARM. you just need the browser, the flash plug-in, maybe a media player. also, ARM processors have better battery life than x86 processors.

In Linux, porting is sometimes as simple as changing compilers...

coleman,
well, it depend what you do. arm for instance doesn't run 3ds max or photoshop, nor does linux.
so it depends what your job is. linux+arm is great for some, and next to useless for others.
