Unless there's a third party vendor who has an agreement with Adobe to
do this, I doubt very highly that you'll ever see it.

Even porting FP to a platform requires signing stringent NDAs and
security setup - we're in the process of doing this at work and only 2
of the developers are even allowed to see the code. They have to
prepare libraries for the other developers to use which can then be
integrated into your platform.

There's a reason Apple chose not to support FP on the iPad :)

If you really need FP, then you should use a nano-ITX board or
something similar.
