BINGO! This is why I am torn right now!

Java bite code translation is a security requirement for Android and holds down app performance and prevents audio or video codecs from being developed for this reason. It will be interesting to see how well Flash works on current device Android is terribly inefficient in regards to resource usage.

Again, I have an $85 Dingoo that has a weaker chipset and humiliates the G1. The Dingoo plays Metal Slug 5 and King of Fighters 2001 perfectly with sound. The G1 is like a slide show and that is with no sound.
