toshiba is working on a notebook with PS3 cell technology

[kx11]

It's recently been revealed Toshiba is planning to use Sony PS3 technology in its upcoming TVs and Notebooks. The OC Register's Gadgetress got her hands on the Toshiba's Qosimo notebook (shown above), which will use the SpursEngine chip, jointly developed between Toshiba and Sony around the Cell. The processor will handle much of the video and multimedia processing, taking the load off the main CPU

in other words : WIN , there might be a good chance to play blu-ray movies smoothly without taking a lot of proccesing power

Link please. At any rate, it's odd that Sony doesn't have the Cell in their Vaio's first...

Coming up next: dogs and cats living together.

I realize this isn't a unique situation but it's still interesting how businesses can be bitter rivals in one aspect of the business but partners in another.

they are staying off BD, a wrong decision if I were toshiba.
by the time they release that upconverting DVD at 2009, Blu-ray would be cheaper

am I right?
it was developed by Sony, IBM and toshiba after all

i could be wrong but aside from the ps3 i don't think sony has announced putting it in anything else. i don't see why they wouldn't be able to release their own computers, tv's, etc

i'd rather they did try to push the cell into everything like they planned from the start. get those production prices down!
