OIC. Thanks for the info - I don't know much about the 2700g, programming/caapbilities-wise.

Anyway, if you try wargus for pocketPC you will see that warcraft2 runs perfectly fine on an x50v (http://n0p.averest-k.ru/). Starcraft2 is nearly the same engine, there's no reason this won't work.

SC is
much more heavy on graphics - think of the heavily animated sprites, for example. I don't think a Pocket PC would be able to cope with animating hundreds of units on the same screen at the same time. Even a P100 slows down greatly if you try to do so.
A, say, 486DX33 could run the "static-looking" WCII without problems, but not Starcraft. These two games are really different, hardware requirement-wise.

Depends I suppose. There is no way a pocketpc player could beat a PC player with the same skill.

Well, if the PPC player has a two-button mouse and a keyboard, why not? :) On VGA PPC's (assuming they are able to run a decent port with a sufficient speed), the GUI would then be the same (don't forget that Starcraft also "only" has VGA resolution, no more.)
