Or do we all just take it for granted today?
It's not using any server-side assistance like Opera Mini does, is it?
100% processed on the phone - fantastic.
Is it just me, or was the scrolling incredibly slow? And the hockey video's playback choppy? It's also interesting that the phone was being charged, considering the battery usage the last time flash was demoed...
As for battery usage, is there a reason to assume that Flash sucks more battery than other applications? Why would it (except being interpreted)? I guess 3d apps in general would draw more power than "flat" business apps.
So I can play Farmville?

Is no-one else impressed by how much computing power is being demonstrated in a handheld device with this? Or do we all just take it for granted today? It's not using any server-side assistance like Opera Mini does, is it? 100% processed on the phone - fantastic.
The amount of computing power we're carrying in our pockets is simply stunning, we're getting to the point where we might be able to put good speech recognition on a device this size. It's not quite here yet (people claim it is, but in practice if you don't get very close to 100% accuracy typing or pushing buttons is quite fast) but who knows, it might be. And I think when that happens coupled with enough NLP to make a good user interface the days of the touch screen will be over. In fact, we might see 'screenless' computers that you can still interact with.

From calculators, to ediaries, to original Palm with its 25Mhz Dragonball Processor, iPaq with its 200mhz processor, the iPhone with 600mhz processor, and now 1Ghz in this android phone.
No mention of how it handles hover events...
You know I haven't been able to play a single HTML5 game on my N1. Every single one requires either a physical keyboard or mouse events that I can't simulate.
