That's not what Engadget says.

Money quote: "our beloved handset got piping hot after about 30 minutes of heavy video watching, and the battery indicator in the upper right had a sizable dent."

Actually the real money quote is: "the pre-release beta we have, according to Adobe, lacks hardware acceleration"

You really can't judge the power/heat of a version w/o HW acceleration.

I think those are two very different contexts to the useage of flash on the phone. After 30 minutes of watching video versus opening up a webpage that is based in flash are not very compariable.

Who cares about websites made in flash? People want flash for games and video. With that in mind, I think that engadget tested the context that most of us care about.
