Angry Birds now avaliable for Android

[JJ!]

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.

How comes I can't see it on my search in Marketplace? I've got a Hero...software/hardware incompatability?

 

[koi]

Not on the Wildfire either, guessing it's too slow to run it

 

[Brand86]

Will updating the software help you think? Surely it's not that demanding on processors?!

This. I'm running a hero with updated software.

What's so great about this game anyway lol

 

[Brand86]

Cool thanks 172, will try to upgrade my software.

Koi, it's not GREAT it's just a simple but addictive (and quite well presented) game. As it's free it's even better!

What phones support this? My htc magic and gfs Sony x10 don't.

 

[Matt Cup]

Anything with the Froyo 2.2 firmware isn't it?

 

[theduck]

managed to install it on my HTC Magic but it was slower than a slug

Can install on the X10 but wont be allowed to play it so not bothered.

[Rich-D]

unfortunately not

some phones like the HTC Wildfire don't have the correct screen size/resolution to run it

 

[Rich-D]

free? what a piss take!

free, but with ads... I'd happily pay a couple of quid for no ads TBH

 

[theduck]

Managed to persuade gf to lend me her phone and works well on Sony x10.

How does it look and run on the wildfire?

On 1st load it didn't fit on the screen, rebooted and it worked fine. Slight lag scrolling but still playable

When I try and load it on my Wildfire the screen just stays black . Then when it loads it just 7/8th's of the screen white and 1/8th blue scrolling land bit.
I had it working once yesterday but its quite temperamental lol.

Works on my desire
