At IndieCade, the number one comment I got on Blue Lacuna, by far, was:
"This would be really cool if you could play it on an [iPad/iPhone/Kindle]. I could see myself playing something like this that way."
How delightful that there is a KickStarter project going on right now to realize this possibility.

I'm a backer of the Kickstarter Project, but feel I should also point out that it's already possible to play any z-machine game, for free, on iOS devices:
Frotz on the iTunes Store
Parchment works on the Kindle 3 too. Quixe would as well I presume.
I use Frotz on the iPod and the rather oddly named Hunky Punk on Android (.z5 and .z8 games only at the moment).
Being on a mobile device usually comes at a cost of not having a proper keyboard (which I prefer no matter the device) but you don't need to power up a massive computer when a 'phone/iThing will do the same job, and a lot more socially, possibly, too.
YES this is a terrific idea! I would love to have this on a mobile device...but I wonder if you could use texting as the utility instead? I know Google and Facebook do...I'm sure it could work for people like me who have unlimited texting.
