I got the email this morning, here it is... One thing to note, it is free, but it has ads. They say a future patch will allow you to pay for the ads to be removed...

Link To Download Directly

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!

So either this getjar site is getting slammed, or it is just not a good site, as the download is not working for me and I am at home connected through my WiFi, but will keep trying.

Again, it is free but with Ads. Someone post once they get it succesfully.

Rovio also stated that later it will be available through the market place for free as well so you might want to wait for that release not to mention if you get it in that manner you are able to receive updates easier if there are any rather than if you get it from the apk file.

Free? Amazing....the only reason I was not very fond of this game is due to its cost on iOS, I figured it would have a cost on Android as well, so I tried to keep my excitement down a bit for it. Now that its free I can't wait to be able to get it (not in the market yet and the other site seems to be getting slammed)!

Why isnt it on the android market? google servers can cope with the load.

Anyway got it on my HTC HD2 running froyo, works great!

It will be soon, possibly it takes a bit of time for an app to appear in the market or something? Hard to tell why but they do plan on moving it to the market, they simply wanted those die-hard users to get their hands on it quicker.

I prefer paying 59p for no ads. :p

Which will be an option for us Android users as well. Essentially we get the game you were forced to pay for (to play, that is) except free with ads, or we pay for the game and get the same game as you (you referring to iPhone users in general, not you in particular).

I did not see any Ads on the version I downloaded, at least not yet, only played through Level 3 real quick to make sure it was working, but not a single ad yet, so it looks like the ads are not that intrusive at all, which is really nice.

No me either

And apologies if I turned the thread in to an argument, I only did it as a silly joke :D

Guess I gotta wait till it hits the market....I downloaded it from that getjar site, and it says "Failed to parse package." or something along those lines when I try to launch the apk to install it, and the file is only 1KB when it says it should be 12MB.

I can wait though, it is a fun game and I am excited about getting it for free, but I can wait a few hours till it hits the market (assuming it will hit the market today).

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.

      Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price by Taras Buria Having a Stream Deck-like device next to your keyboard could be a massive productivity boost. It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays. Instead, there is a big twisting knob and a small roller for precise adjustments in creative apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, and more. There are four additional buttons as well. The MX Creative Console is available in two colors: Graphite and Pale Gray. Both are now 20% off, saving you $40. Just keep in mind that the MX Creative Console requires the Logitech Options+ app, which is only available on Windows and macOS. By the way, each unit comes with three months of Adobe Creative Cloud.

      Because someone else reported theirs was unusable, genius. But being a Linux user you should be used to that. Next time you think you have a "gotcha", check first.
    • Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Studio MDHR has been rather silent about its next major gaming project since the release of Cuphead back in 2017. However, that ended today during the Summer Game Fest presentation, with the studio revealing not one but two project announcements. First, the studio confirmed that it is currently in the middle of developing a brand-new Cuphead game, bringing back the iconic characters for another adventure. Just like the last game, this is slated to be a fully hand-animated endeavor. This also means there isn't a release date attached to it yet. “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. The studio is working on this new Cuphead with help from Toronto’s Stop Motion Department and Continue Agency. At the same time, Studio MDHR also revealed that another part of the team has been working on a different Cuphead installment. Dubbed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure, this is taking a different art direction to the original. "In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era," the studio explained. "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in assembly language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind." Aside from releasing on PC and modern consoles, Mighty Cuphead Adventure will even be playable on the 1985-released Sega Master System. A release date has not been announced just yet.

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.
