I work with digital audio/MIDI and a latency of 15-20 ms between pressing a key and hearing the sound is easily audible making it near impossible to play expressive music. 10ms can be felt and is 'annoying', under that is acceptable. I usually keep latency down to 5ms, at most 7ms, only letting it increase, e.g. during mixing when responsiveness is not utterly essential.

I think the difference is that Apple licenses/d Java and bundles a standard VM and framework, while Google did not do so - they just used the language with their own VM and framework distinctly different from, say, J2ME.

As an Android developer using Eclipse on a mac, this news majorly sucks. I hope the offering from Oracle will be better than Apple's JVM though.
