I doubt it considering Flash 10.1 would still be a plugin for an Android OS (I think) What this allows (if I am correct) is the ability to run applications coded with dalvik. If the application makes a call for the Flash plugin built into the Android OS and the OS is Maemo then Flash content wouldn't work.

Hah, and there is genius in it

Porting Qt to WP7 or Android gives Nokia nothing. Zero. Null.

But making Android apps running on Symbian and MeeGo is big coup for Nokia. Why? Because best way for developers to get to Symbian/MeeGo users is through Ovi store where Nokia will get its percentage.

With this app, I will never leave my Maemo5 device

Why use Android? if you can use Maemo5 and still be able to take advantage of the Android apps

without having to switching over.

Impressive video, especially since it specifically mentions a chess app. No one has managed to create a decent chess app for the N900 despite promises and support from the highest levels.

But if I saw the video correctly, the chess program had the king on f2 early in the opening. Not very promising, that.

Hmm.. from their website it seems to repackage android apps so they look and run as native apps. I'm not convinced it's going to be for end users or cheap. I have a sneaking suspicion that this is more of a mating call aimed at nokia.
