Scratch as an Android Phone or Tablet Simulation & Game Building Tool

I poked around this weekend with the Flash Scratch viewer. Noticed through the HTML source the Falsh viewer being "PlayerOnly.swf"  ( located at http://scratch.mit.edu/static/misc/PlayerOnly.swf ) I went ahead & downloaded & placed it on a Greenbush Labs server & poked around for the missing but needed variables.   I was excited when I navigated to http://labs.greenbush.us/scratch/flashtest (after pointing the viewer to a Scratch .sb project) on my Android phone and it worked very nicely ! ... so using the Flash based Scratch project viewer any Android device with 2.2 or greater installed can load the Scratch project .... I would like to try it on an Android tablet but dont know anyone with one as of yet ....  I would love to get kids excited about making mobile device applications/games this way !

A quick little video of it working: http://www.scratch.mit.edu/ext/youtube/?v=IRUjOG4PSCw

simply enough the HTML embed source is:
==== HTML Embe Code Start =====
<object width="483" height="387" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="PlayerOnly.swf">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">
<param name="flashvars" value="project=CrabBubbleShoot.sb?version=1"></object>
==== HTML Embe Code End =====

In theory each of these projects here should work with android on a touch screen:
