This can affect browser market share and ensure that developers
judge by the standard rather than design for one particular
non standards-compliant application. Also mind the other Open
Source application.
The official announcement/press release came out yesterday.

Linux for PlayStation 3 Officially Announced

As mentioned before, (1) hardware compatibility is excellent; (2)
YDL will be sold; (3) it's important added value that can
justify the PS3's cost; (4) Enlightenment will be used, but
I imagine that GNOME/KDE with Compiz/Beryl/XGL/AIGLX will
come at some stage as well. They appeal to young gamers
who favour eye candy.
