The biggest now could be:

Answer 4

Maemo drives Nokia's internet tablets, which are ARM based.

Answer 6

OpenMoko Freerunner¹ is ARM-based and it runs Qtopia/QtE, GTK and E17 UI stacks. All of them are also supported on x86. GTK is Cairo-based and I heard (not sure) that it uses lots of floating-point calculations though, so ARM with GTK might not be very fast.
