Guess we expected this to appear, after seeing the ScummVM engine being ported to the Apple iPhone and Nokia’s Maemo platforms. It’s Android time, meaning that the HTC Dream/T-Mobile G1 and HTC Magic owners soon will be able to enjoy playing good ol’ point-and-click adventure games (someone said Secret of the Monkey Island?) on their beloved devices.
A number of titles is instantly available, although for full versions you’ll need to buy the original game to get the license. Afterwards, the world’s your oyster — no longer you’ll be bored while waiting in a queue or at a meeting where your presence is not really needed.
Hop over to ScummVM’s unofficial port to Android page at Google Sites and take it from there. Good luck in fighting those pirates. 
UPDATE: ScummVM is already available in the Android Market.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
