I've run emacs a little bit in a Fedora-ARM chroot on my Android 
tablet,
and speed keys were definitely my primary means of interacting with
it. The modifier support was not *that* limited -- running it in a 
local
ConnectBot session and using Hacker's Keyboard is as-far-as-I-can-tell
equivalent to a normal TTY Emacs with a PC keyboard. But, of course, 
the
modifier support in a normal TTY Emacs is a little limited.

My notes on running Emacs and Org-mode in this environment are at
http://www.carcosa.net/jason/blog/computing/emacs/2012-07-19-21-31-emacs-on-android.html
if anyone is interested. The setup bits are a bit obsolete given the 
new
native app that's out, but the native app basically wraps a terminal 
app
around an ARM-linux emacs, so a lot of things still apply.
