it worked for me because my clients were using embedded devices with the same firmware and the hardware was really weak and cheap. In case of branded devices it;s a real shame for adobe as such a big corporation can't fix this bug.
unfortunately adobe doesnt consider air as a perspective tech for mobiles and works just on highly specialized aspects. in the meantime people will forget about flash and air but I m not sure adobe will be a leader in re:html/js development as the concurency is very tough there.
