I had flash on a Motorola Droid and it was awful. Not only did the VM have questionable compatibility for some reason, it also completely destroyed battery life. Cute trick, but not really usable for day to day.

The same could be said of mobile YouTube back then. Or mobile browsers in general. They were luxuries, to be used sparingly on low-power hardware.

Flash was noticeably worse than those examples.
