The ARM processors maybe a little slower, but they are more energy efficient, cheaper (I think), and here now. Ubuntu and several other mainstream Linux OS's run on them, so a lot of apps are available.
I think windows would be too 'clunky' for such a small device (although I do have a UX380, but that is my main PC, hooked up to a keyboard, mouse and monitor when at home).
Check out the SmartQ5/7, open pandora project, Archos 5 and other 'smart phones' that use them.
At the moment it comes down to the fact that there is no fully 'open' device.
