In terms of power Cellphones are about 10 years behind PC's. Flash has been around longer then 10 years. Even if Mobile flash can do the early flash stuff it would be an improvement.

The point I believe he was making was that flash is horribly inefficient and thus even if it is available on mobile devices it is a waste of resources which in turn represents a waste of power (fairly critical in mobile devices).

Either way the trend these days is away from flash more towards javascript and html5.

If anything just having flash on a mobile could become a pain due to the number of flash advertisements on websites munching away at the cpu.
