"I like that for once something as good as this has significant marketshare in mobile cpus. Just wondering if they could gradually creep into the market for desktop cpus as well."
It is going to be hard to displace x86 desktops, but I'm looking forward to ARM-based "netbooks" and pocket-sized computers like the Nokia N900. See Ubuntu job postings and Google's ChromeOS - I believe this presages ARM-based small and tiny mobile computers.
The big question is whether the Atom (and whatever AMD is working on) will be able to reduce their chipSET power to compete with the ARM SOC power numbers before ARM grows up into that market (growing up is always easier than growing down).
