Works great on HTC Hero.

If you are having problems, get astro file manager. Then go to the post on here where someone created a mirror. Download from that link, and then use astro file manager to install.

Too much work for me honestly, plus ES File Explorer is better according to 90% of the comparisons I have seen between it and Astro. :p

Yeah I guess the ads just were not enabled yet, as I played for a little bit when I was just eating lunch, and the ads are definitely there now, start of every level. While slightly annoying, they do not stop gameplay at all, you can start playing even if they are there, so I can definitely live with them for now.

It's up on the Market btw. I got the email this morning and it was there when I searched for it around noon. Glad to finally have the full version of the game!

Must have JUST went up minutes ago.....AppBrain shows <50 downloads (granted AppBrain doesn't cover everyone who uses the market directly, it does cover a large amount of android users). I had been checking on and off all day, as of an hour ago it was not in the market (at least, it didn't show up when I had searched), but I luckily was able to get it through the getjar website instead.

I absolutely love this game. Addictive. And great to see more developers releasing games for Android. The fact that the game is free is even more awesome, the ads are unobtrusive and go away when you start playing anyway.

Great stuff, A+

Maker of ?Angry Birds? Acquired for $20 Million by Electronic Arts [REPORT]

http://mashable.com/2010/10/20/angry-birds-electronic-arts/

The company behind the popular ?Angry Birds? mobile game ? Chillingo ? has reportedly been acquired by Electronic Arts for $20 million in cash.

An EA spokesperson tells Reuters that, ?By acquiring Chillingo, EA Mobile is increasing its market leadership on the Apple Platform as well as reaffirming its position as the world?s leading wireless entertainment publisher.?

Angry Bids has been a staple near the top of the charts in the iPhone app store and debuted on Android back in September. Chillingo made Angry Birds free for Android users just this past weekend.

For EA, the deal represents yet another move into the emerging areas of social and mobile gaming. Last year, the company acquired popular Facebook game developer Playfish for $400 million, a move that recently led the company to launch a Facebook version of the popular ?Madden? football game.

More to come ?

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      By NextGen_Gamer · Posted

      Along with that and very unfortunate for Linux, the AI boom/tariffs/global supply chain instability really destroyed any chances of it getting a decent chunk of market share. By all accounts, if a Steam Deck was still available for $399 (with tons of alternatives releasing at $500-$800 - instead of $1500+ now) and the Steam Machine was out there for $499, I think a lot of people WOULD have been willing to try SteamOS and switch away from Windows. But yeah, with the crazy jacked up prices now, people have to make safe bets with their money.

      Neowin hasn't been covering the Ladybird browser but it has been posted about on a lot of tech and Linux/open source sites. I have been following the effort myself for almost a year now. Cloudflare and Proton are among their sponsors. You can read the why here--> https://ladybird.org/#about

      That's really the user's problem, not the developers. It's not like the Windows 10 EOL was a surprise. Once a product goes out of support, you have to understand YOU are owning the risk of running it - the rest of the world will move on, maybe you'll be OK, maybe you'll be OK for a while, maybe you'll have an issue.... But you can't expect devs to write or certify software for dead operating systems.

      Not mentioned in this blog post is that Linux has now dropped for 2 months in a row. At a hight of 5.33% in March, then 4.52% in April and now 3.99% in May. I suspect the end of Windows 10 got a bunch of people to try Linux, fueled by all the Microsoft hate, and rabid social media push of that....and now they are going back to Windows 11 because of the normal Linux issues. The vast majority of PC gamers want to use their computers to game and not trouble shoot why a game wont work, or half work.
