The cell processor is amazing chip but developers like me cant get our hands on it. its like IBM have locked it off under tight specific sales.

ok so the The Cell has two different processors (the 8 single and the PPE) why do they need two different compilers, i know that two compilers would be needed but why two different compilers that generate two different source codes? Hope someone understands what i am trying to say.
