I think that the key phrase here is 'today's phones'. At the rate we're
going, and at the rate that technology evolves and matures, I think it's
possible that by the time we have a mature, multi-player version of
Adonthell, the technology on which to play it with mobile phones will 
exist. Though I did wonder about how well our C++/Python system would fit 
in such a small device/memory space, etc. Did the port to the Zaurus 
require any tinkering to fit it into the architecture?
