ARM for the future?

[Khephren]

Everybody loves you when you're bi.  
...ahem.

ARM is getting more interesting, I think there are at least 10 products (probably more) in this house using ARM architecture. And I see handheld/mobile computing as the future.  
.

Iv'e never thought to count them, so:

GP32
x2 Nintendo DS
4 Smart phones
Psion Revo
Netbook
Dreamcast

10 here as well, they really are everywhere! Iv'e always liked ARM since I had a Psion. It ran for weeks, ran cool, and was nippy enough to run doom.

Dreamcast is not ARM.

Dreamcasts sound processor was an ARM 7 chip.

I miss my Dreamcast. Probably my favorite of the "modern" consoles.

There's life in the old dog yet:

Heh, cool, looks very nice. It's inspirations are pretty clear (some heavy rtype inspired bits there), but it looks to have been done quite well.
What's the story behind it though, is it a commercial game ? Looks too nice to be homebrew  

Yeah, I love R-Type. I think they are an indie publishing house, did Rush Rush Rally for DC as well.  http://www.redspotgames.com/shop/

To stay on thread, do any of you think ARM will hit the desktop/notebook heavily?  
I know intel are definitely trying to get heat/wattage down to the smartphone arena (wonder if they regret selling strongARM?) Could be a big battle ahead!

SIDENOTE: I have an ARM netbook, but it runs CE it is a bit shit. The clips in at 144MIPS, but can do less, and feels less responsive than my A1200:030/50. (This is definitely due to the OS though, as my Psion Revo is well nippy).
