I don't get it. I truly don't. What's so great about Android? I had the G1 and now I'm currently using an iPhone 4. Are you saying everyone should just bow down to Google? If they don't jump on whatever flavor of the moment trend in

" I don't know. Sony is using a Power PC chip. And IBM's biggest Power PC supporter [Apple] recently went to Intel.

I'm sure the Cell is nice, but the question of how nice is still debatable."

The console makers must be able to lower costs over the lifespan of the system. Intel nor AMD will allow third parties to make their chips.
