I still think it's odd that I can play YouTube Flash videos in my browser on my WM6.5 phone but not watch VM video.
And no, the Galaxy cannot run Flash (unlike the Desire), unless you get hold of illegal ROMS and start hacking it and even then you'll end up knackering bits of the O/S that are already working.

They are specifically targetting the VM Player at mobiles as well as PCs. They have a whole section in their help files for it and are offering a free 1 hour worth of viewing time for VM customers.

That entire post could have came out the rear end of a male cow.
Android is FAR FAR superior to your beloved WM 6.5, WM is BY FAR the worst mobile OS around.
Android grows from strength to strength, as for "less powerful" the top of the line android handsets are the most powerful handsets you can get, exceeding even the iphone 4. The galaxy will be able to run flash the second 2.2 hits for it, which is imminent.
Once again, your crappy wm 6.5 phone supports FLASH LITE, any android phone running 2.2 runs the full version of flash 10.1, THAT is why it works on them and not your wm 6.5 phone, because your phone DOES NOT have the full desktop version of flash. Unlike the "crappy android" "less powerful" phones.
They aren't targeting the vm player at mobiles, this is web based, it's for use on the desktop. In future there will be mobile VERSIONS of the VM player, it isn't going to be a case of using the desktop version on a mobile device, that will always be unsupported.
