Corel Corp and HDS Network Systems Inc may be having some problems with the MPC 821 PowerPC chip they planned to use in Corel’s upcoming Video-NC. The V-NC was supposed to hit beta this month but it’s been pushed back a few weeks to mid-April. Rumor has it the beta might not use the Motorola chip after all. Corel is officially saying the first V-NC rev will use Motorola’s chip and that it’s looking for a more powerful chip such as Digital Equipment Corp’s StrongARM to put in the second revision. Meanwhile, Corel’s Office for Java is set to launch May 28.
