I work for a company whose main site is a flash RIA. It's true that our site doesn't work out of the box on mobile flash enabled phones, although in our case it's mostly due to memory constraints. However we've created a new interface reusing most of the code we had already written for the main site, but optimized for mobile devices and without all the embedded images and memory intensive features included on the main site. Doing that took about 2 weeks of serious dev time. Meanwhile, the native apps we're writing for each platform have taken 6 months each and still need a fair amount of work. HTML 5 is out of the question because it is missing some critical features (mainly content protection of any kind), so mobile flash is great for us. Having had the chance to use flash enabled mobile devices on various websites, the complaints listed in this article are valid; I wouldn't use it to play flash games, but it is usable for media consumption, even YouTube's. Normal, non-mobile YouTube videos play just fine in mobile flash, for example.
