Now you’re really confused. Apple ditched IBM over the mainstream CPU lines. Apple only talked to Sony and found the Cell not suitable (obviously). You don’t seem to know that there are three players in the Cell: Sony, Toshiba and IBM (the STI alliance). IBM is pushing it for servers and, with an agreement through another company, professional equipment. Sony is pushing it for gaming. Toshiba is pushing it for their HDTVs.
