That’s right folks! The hottest app on the iTunes Store is finally making it’s way to our favourite OS. Readers who have played the iPhone version will understand when I say that Angry Birds has to be one of the most addictive mobile games ever made.

We told you a few weeks ago that Angry Birds would be released by the end of August and it turns out that we were pretty close. The news comes from a reader of the website ‘Droid Life’. He received an email from the support department at Angry Birds that read like this:

Hi Jeremy,

We are going to send out a massive beta test to everyone that signed up to android.angrybirds.com at the end of the week.

Cheers, Matt

For those of you who have not played this it, Angry Birds is puzzle game developed by Rovio. It involves using a sling-shot to fire brave faced birds at structures (made out of wood, metal, and.. pigs) to knock them down for points. Watch this trailer to fully understand what I’m explaining rather poorly.

If you want to be playing this fantastic game this coming Friday, make sure you sign up at android.angrybirds.com

The smart phone market is still not mature yet, so your message is not quite correct. Eventually, there will only be a few manufacturers left standing. Personally, I won't buy anything besides Samsung or HTC, but Samsung is winning my loyalty. They make damn good devices. It's not a coincidence that apple is picking on Samsung in court. In add […]

Re: Google Loses Appeal Over Trial Period in Taiwan
I agree with you. Taiwanese could then complain to their authorities to get them to remove that huge pole out of Taiwan consumer law's ass. Being pressure by own people is far more effective than by corporate giant. […]
