1 billion. That’s how many downloads Angry Birds has had, surely setting up Rovio for live and giving the publisher unlimited scope for future expansion.
Like, as the trailer teases, a version of Casey’s Contraptions, an existing iPad puzzler.

I was having a chat with my Finnish flatmate earlier [Rovio is a Finnish company], & apparently the name, Rovio, means bonfire where they burn witches.

Best first comment ever. You win teh internets.

I’ve downloaded it four times on one phone because of firmware flashes. It’ll be interesting if they had a number of devices that downloaded it.

This.
3 x on my old Android phone after flashing roms
1 x on my new Android phone
2 x on my Android tablet after flashing roms
1 x on my iPhone from work
I’m guessing they count every download. It’s still an impressive number.

Lawks – It’ll be a religion next! Watch out, The Bible! :)
Amazing number of downloads.

Must…resist…smug…comment about how ridiculously average a game Angry Birds is. Ah dammit

I think Rovio are the smug ones right now. They don’t care what anyone thinks. Did you read the article? :)

No, I couldn’t find the time in my day to read that wall of text

Whoa.

How do I read these figures, do they include the free versions that are available?

I’m doing a piece of coursework on mobile games and now i’m going to have to update the statics i put on it for angry birds.
hazelam
yeah, how many of those were free, and how many versions have they released?
i know they’ve done a few tie in versions.
and a billion isn’t as big as it used to be since the yanks got their hands on it. ^_^

Apparently the “free versions” with in game advertisements make them even more money, so it doesn’t really matter who paid up front and who didn’t.

Impressive negativity. Can we not just be happy for a software developer knowing that they’re working on new material? It would appear not.
