    Iphone doesn't have an operating system or hardware suitable for ADOM. And how would you play with on-screen keyboard.
    Maybe a good PDA would be a better bet.

    Well I was thinking it most likely has OS at least very similar to Mac OS right? And there are loads of applications that work on it even nes emulator so I was thinking iphone might be able to emulate any application. Well on board keyboard might be a little bit tricky but I could kill a lot of time with it. :-) Anyway thx.

    Try running adom over SSH. If you have shell anywhere and your connection isn't too slow you can try to connect to your shell from your phone and run adom remotely. I think there's at least some SSH-client available for iPhone too.

    You might want to:

    1. Install linux locally, let computer run all day.
    2. Start SSH daemon, open ports.
    3. Setup Dyndns.
    4. Profit.
    Of course it's unfair - that's the whole point.

    We actually have an internal prototype working on iPad - so it is possible.

    But sadly the UI is a huge challenge. I yet have to see a single complex roguelike game that actually works on iPhone. I try to play each and everyone I can get my hands on and none (of the complexity of ADOM) are fun as far as I am concerned.

    So UI handling is the real bummer, not the OS.

    You should play a necromancer
