For that we will have to wait and see. However based on how much testing Adobe has done with their mobile Flash platform, I would be very surprised.

Flash, like JAVA does heavy lifting while trying to support numerous OSs on numerous processors. I think that concept is doomed.

Light lifting = AJAX & HTML

Heavy lifting = proprietary code

it gets too complex after that.

It's interesting that Apple has seen fit to integrate the Chip and OS on the tablet. They made a strategic mistake on the PPC chip over power before but obviously Jobs sees this problem as something they can take advantage of on low power devices.

Leave the really big lifting to the really giant Intel but on the low end the proliferation of chip designs there is opportunity.
