Tried it in Firefox and Chrome, works. I'm not sure if the original Delphi sample behaves the same, but the acceleration of the ship is too high, unlike the original Asteroids.

It runs here on my shiny new iPad (3rd generation) but I can't move or fire of course as I guess you have not implemented the touch routines

The Delphi version is rather unplayable too, and even has more asteroids, so it's usually insta-death as you often spawn right on top of a meteor....
I might revisit it for the iPad as an experiment on implementing multi-touch left hand/right hand controls (mimicking a gamepad, like many games seem to do)It runs here on my shiny new iPad (3rd generation)
That said http://bit.ly/nickeliron and http://bit.ly/wartrail should run just fine on your new iPad, they're both Object Pascal compiled to JS/HTML5 (but they ain't retina-ready, I have only an iPad 2 )
Nickel-Iron was my first attempt, I'll probably revisit it with the things I've learned doing WarTrail, to add more visual effects, leader-boards & such. Once that's done, I'll probably have experimented and have enough existing code to wrap everything into a Pascal mini-gamedev library for HTML5.

I tried it in IE9. It works. I also do have to complain about to fast acceleration.
Also I noticed that asteroids move only trough the middle part of the gamefield and not on sides. So you can just move on one side and stay there forever.
They can even be motionless if you're lucky: the Delphi code doesn't have a minimal or even a set speed for them, every time you refresh (or restart in the Delphi version), they get a new random speed.
I gues you are correct.
