im not qualified to answer that... but i would think it requires some mods to the webbrowser and some mods to maemo - emulating some parts of android... and in worst case maybe also some emulation of sound hardware... if those things can be done with high level emulation there should not be a significant speed drop.

android is open source and if the webbrowsers supporting flash10.1 also is open source, it may be doable in a not to far away future

...if the targeted flash10.1 will be pillaged from palm pre im not 100% sure what will be required
