According to an EETimes article, IBM is planning on releasing the full specifications and software libraries for the powerful processor that will be in the Playstation 3. The goal is to stimulate open-source development for other applications of the chip. The article doesn't mention if there will be some affordable development systems for all these programmers -- I'm hoping for a ps3 devkit." From the article: "IBM is eager to find other opportunities for Cell, but it's going to take a lot of software work...Going to the open-source community makes sense, because they could attract a lot of pretty smart programmers who could spin out software and applications for Cell.

Unreal team was provided with a dev kit as well as the killzone team. Some sony exec. stated on AOTS last night that several people have had access to some sort of devkit for it.

Also referenced from the article, an awesome Sony powerpoint that goes deep into the architecture and especially the intended programming model of the Cell.
