See the pattern? =)

What pattern? Where are those numbers from?
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp has the JRE around 18 MB download, varies by platform.
Even the JDK (linux, multilanguage, i386) is a 67MB self-extracter. (Remember, it's a compressed filesystem, so while that might decompress to your 134 MB, the actual footprint will be much closer to 67 MB.)

And what will be the memory footprint? I don't write Java (thank you god), but i'm forced to use and administer java clients and servers every day... Guess if i'm positive about them 
EDIT: Anyway Java won't perform very good on the tablet, unless there's some sort of acceleration.

Yeah, but this could mean acceleration, if it were deployed to the tablets. And remember, we're comparing to Flash, not lisp. So bad performance is not a horrible disadvantage.

yep, most arm based chips have the ability to run java "natively" iirc...
as for memory footprint, i dont think it will be much worse then what one can get from a big flash element...
