Sony snubbed by Apple's Steve Jobs

Did you know that Sony actually approached Steve Jobs to use the Cell Processor, but was rejected? The Cell Processor is the chip that will power the PlayStation 3. Read the link for more details.
Mr. Kutaragi tried to interest Mr. Jobs in adopting the Cell chip, which is being developed by I.B.M. for use in the coming PlayStation 3, in exchange for access to certain Sony technologies. Mr. Jobs rejected the idea, telling Mr. Kutaragi that he was disappointed with the Cell design, which he believes will be even less effective than the PowerPC.
