Yay.

Angry Birds available for Android

IT’S HERE. AND IT’S FREE. After an extended period of beta testing, Rovio is proud to present Angry Birds for the Android platform. First of all, we’d like to thank you for your patience.

Why is Angry Birds free on Android? We want to make Angry Birds available for as many people as possible. Previously, many people were experiencing problems in finding Angry Birds on Android Market, but now everybody can download the game on their device.

Angry Birds will run on second generation Android devices and upwards, with Android platform 1.6 or later. Your device needs to support OpenGL ES 2.0. QVGA display resolution is not supported currently, but we will add support for QVGA devices soon.

Angry Birds Android features mobile advertising. A future update will include the option to purchase and opt out of advertisements.

To get the game now, you can download Angry Birds on your device for free exclusively from GetJar (http://www.getjar.com/angry-birds). It will soon be available on the Android Market and Motorola SHOP4APPS, free of charge as well.

We have worked long and hard to ensure that Angry Birds gives the best possible experience on Android, and we believe we have reached our goal. We welcome our fans to see for themselves and have fun playing Angry Birds!

Happy out that it's free, I can handle a few ads!!

Abelloid · 15-10-2010 12:31pm

OK, can somebody Dropbox the .apk file or something? I will too if I get a successful download... :rolleyes:

RasTa · 15-10-2010 12:31pm

I can't see it on the market?

It's not on the market.

Even just attach the apk here - no copyright infringement or piracy issues so don't worry!

If only i'd noticed it was available 5 mins earlier I could have downloaded it by now

Krusty_Clown · 15-10-2010 12:36pm

Wahoo! Just downloaded it from getjar.com, and just in time for my 11 hours of flight time tomorrow.
Strange (but popular) choice to make it available for free, based on an advertising revenue model. I reckon they could have cleaned up on downloads today alone.

Another selling point for the Android (Though the decision is probably down to the ease of piracy!).

Downloaded that link to my phone, getting either "cannot parse package" with default installer or out of space errors using apk manager or astro...HTC Legend...anyone else having problems installing?

Edit: 47 MB free internally, should be plenty I imagine?

Well plenty, I think it's 12Mb in total or so. Although for some reason it's un-installed itself on my phone along with other apps so can check exact size.
