Flash/HTML5 vs iOS/Android native code

| I'm guessing there's a significant speed difference between native code and Flash/html5 on smartphones, but has anyone done any kind of speed comparison on this? I'm asking because I tried to run a small game built in flash and html5 on a nokia n8 and both builds ran extremely slow (<5fps). So if flash and html5 builds are only marginally slower than native code I'll probably need to rethink how I do stuff. |

| Don't expect any flash or html5 to work well on smartphones anytime soon. I have yet to see one that work well :( Even games on Kongregate for mobile lack greatly on my Galaxy S. |

| Flash/HTML5 builds on smartphones are orders of magnitude slower than native code, so don't use that as a guideline :) |
| ||
| Whew, I was worried my code was extremely inefficient or something. Good to know :) |

| People always think that when it runs fine on a desktop, it will run fine on a mobile device. It simply doesn't. You have to limit yourself performance wise. And like they others said. HTML/FLASH is no option for a game on a mobile device atm and imho. |

| Yeah it was mainly an experiment to get some kind of performance ballpark figure for smartphones. And just to see my stuff actually run on a phone :) |
