Is there anyone that has actually announced using cell technology for anything other than games? I agree that there are implications far greater in other areas, but so far I haven't heard of them actually signing deals with anyone else. I am certainly excited if this does create some competition for Intel however. IMO there is no real such thing as Moore's law. So far all technology advances in the chip market have been driven by competition and demand.
