Why people are so stupid? (a stupid rhetoric question =)
The same crap designed to run on x86 CPUs with heavy FPU usage even with hardware GPU acceleration on Windows, cannot run smoothly on ARM CPU without any acceleration or comparable FPU. That is all marketing bullshit.
Even on Linux i386 they use no acceleration at all. Do ldd libflashplayer.so and try to |grep nvidia or something like that. Then try ldd mplayer and compare.
Flash sucks as technology, and Apple understand it. Of course, they want Flash on their devices, but it just broken. By definition.
The same shit with JRE. Dalvik VM in Android or that on Google App Engine is not the same as JRE, and you cannot, and never will be able to run some bloated spring+hibernate+swing crap on ARM.
Just face it: ARM is a completely different platform. Their favorite mantra "Code once, run everywhere" does not work anymore.
