Some people just never learn to sing the Blues (pun intended). Daniel Hellerman and a friend developed a software titled Starcraft 2 Gameboard for the iPhone and iPad slated for mid-September 2010.
The app will supposedly report complete unit stats, battle guide detailing unit strengths and weakneses, controllable game map, easy touch access to the games most important hotkeys and macros, selectable unit groups, select individual units, control every units function with the touch of a finger; and other bunch of features.
It syncs your iPhone/iPad with your PC; and controls your Starcraft II game from the handheld device.
Don't go all excited and pre-order the software, however. This product is never coming out after Blizzard Entertainment Legal Department sends them a cease and desist letter.
That's the easiest way to waste your money on something that's not going to take off.
The first big no-no here is to charge .00 for the app using the name in the software's title: Starcraft; and launching the app on iTunes. That's grounds for copyright infringement. It's yet to be determined if the app merits Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) violations. Did I see Blizzard intellectual property images too in those UI icons? Oh boy!
Recently, Blizzard Entertainment won a legal case where the judge determined the defendant had to pay million to the studios in statutory damages and attorney fees. Blizzard Entertainment won a partial court decision in Tortious Interference and Copyright Infringement claims against MDY Industries back on 2008 which paid .5 million.
