Haven't had a chance to install it yet, but I was wondering if anyone's tried the Cell Superscaler library that's included. Sounds like an interesting way to make software use the SPEs; just tag a function in C that you want to run on an SPE, with the caveat that the function can only use local variables.

Probably not very efficient, but combine it with the xlc compiler and it's a lot better than doing nothing. :)
