Ok, there probably still are uses for powerpc left.... but if someone tried to sell you a cellphone with "hey, this is not an ordinary cellphone, this one does not run stupid arm, this one runs great power pc" ... what would you tell him? Switch from arm to ppc is as hard as a crosscompile, and I do not think PowerPC is significantly different from ARM for cellphone use.
