Given that Sony have announced that "apps" will be available for the new Sony devices at some point in the future, a Z-code interpreter would be a very natural thing to develop for it; it's the ideal match for an eInk device.

I too would very much like to see this happen. I have "Frotz" (one of the best-known Z-code interpreters) running on my iPad and it's great to be able to re-play all the old Infocom games.
