I've run the flash player on my android device. It's limited, and it doesn't play sites like Hulu or any flex apps I've tried. Admittedly, I don't have a hero - but the only effect I have noticed is that it slows down any page that has flash banner ads to a crawl and has nothing worthwhile in it.
Part of the problem is that it identifies itself as some funky version of flash that breaks a lot of detection scripts. It identifies itself as "AFL 9,1,122,0" (but does identify that it is video and audio capable) -
On the HTC Dream (which has half the ram of the Hero, so will not perform nearly as well) the flash version checking page takes about 2 or 3 minutes to load.)
