Jonathan,

My Views:
Not really, ARM7s have a lot of good applications too.
Anything to do with internal memory (ARM 
core synthesized on FPGA & such), non-cached
architectures, it is easier to work with Von-neumann
(ARM7) architecture rater than Harvard (ARM9). Both
have advantages & disadvantages \ufffd so it is completely
application driven (ARM7s can be effective with
simpler h/w \ufffd like wireless MAC (device side of a
system) where as ARM9s can be more efficient on
complicated h/w running OSes like linux or WinCE \ufffd
like a Set-top box or a Home gateway (Host side).
For running Bigger systems with caches & MMUs - with
full-blown RTOSes (OSes) it is probably a good to go
for ARM9s.

Cheers,
-Mike.
