it depends in large part what "competitive" means, of course. most of
the ARM stuff i'm aware of is handheld or embedded, where intel
architectures have a really hard time being "competitive" in terms of
heat and space.

handheld devices are a bit tricky because they have more churn in
parts between models, but there's plenty of interesting ones to pick
from. i like nokia's line, and would love to see a port of Plan 9 (or
Inferno) to the 770 or N800 (there's an even newer one, but i forget
the model off hand and don't own one of those).
