I've read Stoker’s Dracula twice, about 20 years apart.

It's interesting to read a book written in 1897. Writing styles have certainly changed a bit. But the original story is still good.

Now we have this;
Bram Stoker’s Dracula Coming to the Apple iPad

At first the article reminded me of Infocom, a company that produced text based games in the early days of computers. It too, seems to be an interactive story, but I would think that it is no more related to Stoker’s book than the Twilight series. Times change, and I probably haven't changed enough to enjoy this one.
