Submission + - Is ARM ever coming to the desktop?

bingbangboom writes: Where are the ARM powered desktops? I finally see some desktop models however they are relegated to "developer" models with $200+ USD price tags (trimslice,etc). Raspberry Pi seems to be the only thing that will be priced correctly, have the right amount of features, and may actually be released. Is the software side holding ARM desktops back? Everyone seems to be foaming at the mouth about anything with a touch interface, even on the linux side. Or are manufacturers not wanting to bring the "netbook effect" to their desktop sales? Are ARM powered desktops destined to join the mythical smartbook?
