A very big problem with the port:

1. current Pocket PC's are just not powerful enough. Remember that the game was very slow and laggy, especially in multiplayer mode with more than 3-4 players and many units, on anything under a P-100. Pocket PC's are far less powerful than even a P-100 (see for example http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/abou...luster.html?en on this).

2. to be able to play the game effectively, you must have a keyboard - not just the two-button mouse. Without a keyboard, no serious Starcraft player would play. Given the number of keyboards currently "deployed", I don't think anyone would find it lucrative to port the game.
