Considering how the PC re-release is just the old code in a new shell, I can't see how a mobile version wouldn't be a total clusterfuck to port without a rewrite.

Why not? If you don't want it, then don't get it, but it's not like its existence does you any harm.

you mean like the existence of advent children hasn't done any harm, Corsair?

Not to anyone who didn't watch it. Even to people who did, the worst they got was a waste of two hours and maybe $10 for the DVD.

all i can say is if they do release 7 for android im sure to support it .

[Covarr]

If they release for Android, I wouldn't be surprised to see an all-new port (maybe something along the lines of a remake, but with old assets); you might need to write save support completely from scratch.

I would gladly sacrifice "a WHOLE FRIKIN' gigabyte" on my phone for this. If only windows phones had good apps

The issue would be that if were ported to a mobile device and was well-received, then that would just encourage them to release more remakes on mobile devices that I don't have....I mean that most people don't own. Of course, the alternative is to release for the PS3/PS4/Wii U which would likely be much more involved.
