Sony's 'Cell'-based TV Ready By 2006

News for nerds writes "Sony Corp plans to offer a broadband television by 2006 that would incorporate the powerful new 'Cell' processor it is developing with IBM Corp. and Toshiba Corp. The Cell processor is expected to power the upcoming PS3 console, a workstation, server, and other home appliances to form Cell-based P2P network. The sample production of the processor has already started. In PlayStation 3, TV props you!"

How about this for future predictions, you're a fanboy who doesn't know his ass from the whole in the ground?

I'm not even interested in the cell processor -- here's why. Here's SONY's shtick -- invent some technology that does something we can already do, polish it nicely and charge 2x as much as existing solutions while selling gear to fanboys such as yourself. Said technology integrates with other sony products, but is really an attempt create a proprietary standard that SONY can license. Admiral Akbar screams "i'ts a trap!" and because every company on the earth isn't fucktarded nobody is willing to use these technologies and they persist only in overpriced sony equipment.

Guess what, I don't want my TV to utilize my toasters processor power, or my PS3's, or anything else. Thats fucking stupid and you and I both know it. SONY's failure preceds the, and the cell processor will flounder just like all their other attempts to capture markets. Sony didn't force the minidisc on anyone, ATRAC is stupid, memory stick lost to CF/SD and this will be another looser to.
