> - ARM is a little-endian, 32-bit RISC architecture widely used by mobile devices. Gotta make a small note here: ARM is bi-endian (bytesexual, if you will); you can toggle the endianness from the lowest level. It just happens that iOS uses it as little endian. I seem to remember the baseband chip (which is also an ARM core, at least with the original iPhone -- never dealt with the others) being big endian, in fact. Sadly, you can't do this on a per-process level, IIRC, like you can with PowerPC (a huuuuge perk for emulators).
