Your former business partner needs to stay abreast of current events then
because Flash does run on iPad/iPhone/iPod.
It's also relatively easy to build apps for those mobile devices with it as
well using Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 or 4.6.
That outputs to Windows, Mac, iOS (iPod,iPad,iPhone), Android 2.2 (Froyo)
and higher and Blackberry Playbook.
We build mobile (Android and iOS) and browser-based apps for iSeries access
all the time.

From: Joe Pluta
My product design application which uses about 300 widgets made up of
some 1000 HTML elements in a 12-pane UI (all of which are
collapsable) takes about two seconds to load from XML on the host.
Have you tried it on an iPad or Android tablet? I seem to recall reading
that iPad sales have eclipsed PC sales. The iPad is the hottest topic in our
market (K-12) schools. My former business partner based his product on Adobe
Flash in order to get the richest UI experience possible and he is really in
a fix now because it won't run on the iPad, and won't run well on Android
tablets either.
I gather that your widgets are loaded from XML, and you say that part is
quick. But how much JavaScript do you download initially?
