Apple's sub $1000 computer plans: how will they be affected by National Semiconductor's release of a low cost highly integrated chip? This was reported today in the Wall Street Journal (and, I suppose, elsewhere). The WSJ suggests this chip could drive low end computer prices below $400.
I have no idea how valid this latter claim is, but the questions I have is are as follows:Does this represent a chip Apple can't use, ie. competition? Can Apple make use of this chip?
I would love to hear from the technically astute.
Thanks all
Dan

Here's a good reference:

Performance tests show Java as fast as C++

Summary Java got a deservedly bad rap for slow performance when Java virtual machines were bytecode interpreters. With the advent of good just-in-time (JIT) compilers, however, our tests show that Java is already on par with C++ in most areas. And when it isn't, it's for good reason.
