Angry Birds Surpasses 7 Mil Downloads
Posted in: Apple, iPhone, mobile, Today's Chili, video games
Rovio’s Angry Birds was a runaway success on the iPhone, so it’s perhaps only logical that the title would be the to put Android gaming on the map. The game has been downloaded seven million times since its launch last month.
The number is closing in on the application’s iPhone download number. That version of the app has been downloaded more than 10 million times since it was introduced roughly this time last year.
Rovio initially offered the game as a download through third party app store GetJar, soon moving it over to the Android Market, after a massive download push took the former offline.
Of course, the Android version of the app has at least one major advantage over its iPhone counterpart–Rovio is offering it as a free, ad-supported download (the iOS version is a $0.99 download).
