All the old BeOS applications won't run on ARM, so IMHO ARM isn't such a good idea for Haiku.
Users wants applications too, a responsive OS is nice but by itself not good enough..

Are there many such old Beos apps (I honestly don't know) ?
is the goal of Beos the same as dos emulators, allowing people to run their old apps that have no replacement ?

They only need a decent cpu emulator or jit translator, like Apple did when they changed architectures. Old applications expected to be run in slower computers, so they will probably perform OK anyway.

modified version of qemu should work for this.
