Angry Birds available for Android (Free*)

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

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.

They are getting slammed hard, just tried again and now there's a message stating technical difficulties die to the release of Angry Birds, not sure why they didn't expect this to happen

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.

The game is working well on my HTC Desire :)

If anyone is having problems downloading the game, I have created a mirror of it here.

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)!

Great game. 150 levels too :D

I'm still learning this stuff, whats a good file manager to use to install this once you download it?

Or I might just wait for it to appear on market place

Holy cow EVERYTHING is getting hammered.

Thank you, working a treat :D

Should keep me entertained in the toilet at work for a while :D

Boo. I installed it on my Mytouch, but when I go to launch it, I get a black screen.

[Beastage]

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 almost forgot, Angry birds for free. IN YOUR FACE iPhone users :D

Sorry I really couldn't resist

I prefer paying 59p for no ads. :p

[Nagisan]

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).

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

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.

[red.]

I have no idea what this game is but for free, i'll give it a shot :p

No me either

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

[shakey]

sweet, getting it now

[Nagisan]

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).
