Love this game on my IPod touch and now looking forward to getting it for my Desire.
http://www.product-reviews.net/2010...o-android-following-iphone-app-store-success/
Somebody even emailed the developer (response below)
I emailed Rovio and this was the response that I received about the release of Angry Birds for Android.
"We are still testing the game on a lot of Android handsets and due to our summer vacations most of us will be away all of July so an August release looks most likely.
Cheers,
Matthew Wilson
Rovio Mobile"
After reading a few months ago an interview with the developer, who said he couldn't see himself producing this app for the android os as not as financially beneficial as the IOS, this could be confirmation that times are changing and that Android is now becoming a serious contender for the 'big boys' to start releasing some quality apps.
EA have already added fifa 10 so things look on the up
Yeah I read about this too. Can't wait for it. Will be able to stop borrowing the missus iPhone to get my angry birds fix. Iv seen no date or timeframe though.
I agree, can't wait for it myself. Wish it came out faster though. I also do think that developers for other platform need to really consider developing for Android. It somewhat annoys me that they don't always develop for it, even though now it is a huge platform. So huge that I had to wait like 2 weeks for my Desire to get to me

It would be nice if these apps could get out faster but I dont see it happening until we get a unified and settled hardware - software platform.

Nice game, Another one to keep an eye on is "reckless racing" by pixelbite!
Hooray!!
Give us more!!
Whats the point of this super powerfull GPU when there are absolutely noooooooo games or applications that take advantage of it. NO GAMES for android what so ever!!!!!
Im honestly starting to think android is snot! Anyone else thinking about making a change to Windows Phone 7???
I'll think about WP7 when there are actual devices coming to Verizon, but I have seen no indication that they are going to be any better off on games. Just because they tout XBox Live being built in does not mean they have anything down the road.
Well iD software just hired a android programmer.

OP, I figure that once you learn how to type, spell, & understand good forum etiquette; you'll actually get a clue that Android is too "geeky" for you. There are plenty of games & many more to come as the platform & hardware mature but you're stuck with making a troll thread that serves no one here.
I think your thinking is backwards. Its this kinda leap in gpu that finally encourages devs to make more graphically heavy games. Why would they design something for a phone that cant run it well.
With all these new smartphones pushing out amazing cpu and gpu's im sure that we will see some major game companies step up to the bat and start designing for android .. just like they did with iphone once it could support it.
Also remember for many people android is the new baby, just became popular a couple years ago. And look at what has been done. I have owned many windows smartphones that have hads YEARS more time to dev and ive seen way less come out of them.
So yeah, go ahead and switch but i bet in 6-8 months you will be regretting it!
First off...Android phones Ive had.....Moto Droid, Htc Eris, Nexus One, Htc Incredible, Droid X...and now Fascinate.....So please dont tell me what Android is.
And Angry Birds is the simplest game in the world. Yes its fun to pass time....but any Android Phone can run it!!!! ANY!
Im not *****ing and moaning.... well maybe I am just a bit. But come on guys read the post....I said the GPU is overrated because there is nothing that takes advantage of it.....and the wait for OS Updates is ridiculous ....You all know this to be true!!!
Fragmentation is a *****!!
There will be no games or apps built specific for android that will not be built for Iphone....there all ports!!!!!! So please explain the point of the of a stonger GPU than Iphone? Hardware acceleration aside......Opera Browser might be the exception!!
Well a good gpu isn't just for games. It makes for a better browsing experience, better framerates with live wallpapers.
Also I'd like to add that if you bought an Android phone with the slightest amount of research involved you would have known that it isn't a great gaming platform. If games were any priority, you wouldn't have bought an android phone.
Troll harder next time.

I linked you to games.
Quite whining about fragmentation. That's just a buzz word people like to use instead of the real reason for not creating a product.
So what if there are no games built specifically for Android? Your point would be what? The fact remains that there are games for Android even if your not happy with them.
You could always move to the iPhone. Maybe that would make you feel better.
No games take advantage of the GPU.
Thats funny.
I've been checking out the psx emulator lately. It runs extremely smooth on this phone. And there are like 700 games to download for free in the rom buddy app. I'm pretty sure that takes advantage of the bad ass gpu. There are also emulators for several other classic game systems. I grew up playing that stuff, so it's pretty fun to go back to.
And sure we're waiting for froyo, but I don't mind the wait. Fragmentation is only a ***** to those too whiny and impatient to wait for a minimal upgrade. If you're not happy with thee phone now, froyo probably isn't going to be the miracle to change your mind.
Just suck it up and go buy your iPhone... Like all the other dumb girls that roam Jobs' pastures.

Could you please not post here anymore? I have yet to see you type anything on the forums that isn't *****y, whiny, or full of mistaken entitlement. What have you contributed to the community that you deserve anything?
If you want games, froyo or OS updates, wait patiently or go do it yourself. Or better yet, buy a WP7 or iphone and get out of here.
I have multiple games that take advantage of the gpu

To say there is no games is ignorant.
Is there as many games as iphone?
No. but to say there is none is wrong.

Win7 Phone will not make much of a splash. It's simply not that impressive. Usually, software companies are not pre-emptive in their design. This is the first round of devices with this level of capability, the apps will follow.

Look at this article over on Gizmodo:
http://gizmodo.com/5713238/the-army-wants-to-give-smartphones-to-every-soldier
Soldiers are getting smartphones which include iPhone or Android phones. Maybe this could inspire Rovio to create another version of Angry Birds. But seriously though I think the devs should make a game (this game has been made on computer before) that users can play online against each other. Users can choose either to be pigs or birds, they can equip their characters by buying from the store. Where the money to buy all those equipment is when you get Exp from winning a battle or killing the birds in campaign mode.
Idk about choosing a pig would be a good idea since pigs are pretty heavy, they must have rockets shuffed into the back in order to fly like birds.
Mod, if you feel that this thread has nothing to do with anything. feel free to move it.
Hahaha that's bad-ass!
Remember Worms?
I'm thinking something like that.
But the pigs have no weapons, just shelter

Worms is definitely one of the best games ever made.
Worms, tanks... there are lots of 2 player games that are similar.
Bring back Scorched Earth
oh man I want a "ruggedized" Android device!!!!!! That sounds like military grade build quality to me!!!
Yeah worm was a great game. I used to play a game that had like multi player not just 2 people though. It played exactly like angry birds. Man that would be awesome of rovio make a game like that with birds flying around instead of bullets. But I like the idea of unbeatable android phone that can be placed as a bomb when activate an app lol

Its been quite a ride with the Xperia play, but unfortunately it hasn't been that good.
When i first got it i packed it to the brim with games. All gameloft ones like backstab, NOVA... stuff like that. Of course i was the first one to have one in my college, *****es love xperias
After a while i noticed that the buttons and the slider werent as strong as they used to be, i disregarded it but it became worse and worse. I take amazing care of all my phones, i can't really remember a time when i've dropped one! And hell, i wouldnt even put my phone on a flat surface because i worry about grit underneath it xD
Eventually we got root, this bought life back into the phone but as i am simlocked, no unlocked bootloader for me... Also we didn't get that many "good" games. Apart from gameloft ones and some EA ones... However i mostly played LSD and some other ps1 titles on fpse
At about this point me (and im sure a few of you) realised that this phone is going... nowhere. Its not quite the "Playstation phone" i thought it would be.
So now... its going. Im going to go back to my motorola defy and stay there for a while.

wow dude, have some patience. Good games don't comes right away. Plus, take a look at the n64oid. I've spent some good ass quality time playing Zelda OOT. I've much faith in this phone and i think we'll see some real good games this year. But sorry if you don't like it.. it's your loss
I was very excited about minecraft coming out for it but i don't know...
As for old skool games, I completed pokemon gold and yellow on it (and super mario 6 gold coins 2)

well, i'm not trying to make you keep the phone. If you wanna buy another one, do it
Yeah man, go ahead and change your phone, the Xperia PLAY is my first smartphone...
and I got it almost for free on a cheap 18 month plan.
So far it has not let me down on anything... and I currently more games than I can actually play, and with the emulators currently available is almost a non-limited game source.
However if I decide to change my phone, the only one available in Mexico better than the PLAY is the Galaxy S2... but no way, I will fit a humoungous phone like that on my pocket, also the price is a big step up, and I will surely miss my dedicated game pad... So there's no way out for me just yet (not that Im looking for one)
Currently I feel like the slider part is a bit more loose and the X button is more difficult to press on time (is like it is a little bit more "pressed" than the other ones), but no BIG issue just yet... I still have 10 months under warranty, so I can change it later for a new one and sell it $$$.
Im concerned too about where is this phone going, but I will gladly wait, because there is no better option for me right now.
We will miss a you as a PLAY user, because there more of us in here the more support we can get from DEVs and SE.
What does the defy offer that you don't get from play? You gotta be kidding.. Going with Motorola's lmao

I think someone expects too much. Honestly, I've found this phone to have lots of life in it, and it's not exactly going nowhere, what with all the development going on by people on this very website. Yeah locked bootloader sucks and yeah it would be nice to have a fix released today but to just give up after a couple months because you aren't getting exactly what you want...well, maybe you need to get out more, see how life really works.
Suck it up muffin, or leave in silence.
slider and button problems already? jeez what have you been doing to your phone? I bought mine shortly after it was released and it's still good as new.
and yes, games don't come overnight. patience is indeed a virtue. also, your phone choices are a mismatch.. Xperia Play against Defy? OMFG it's ridiculous
my missus has the defy and the only reason she has it is because she is a dozy bint who treats a phone like makeup, pop it in the bag and sling it on the floor when it's needed.
that's why it's the perfect phone for her but other than that it's ****e.
it's your choice what you do, not sure why you feel the need to let us all know though, not sure anybody cares?
It'd be nice of you to fulfill your bounty pledge
I am glad the people who have no patience are leaving and getting **** phones in comparison.
Like people who go from Android to iphone are so fail.
Less whinging here if all the the complainers change phones because they couldn't wait. Some phones don't ever get updates
I think some people are expecting to much. This is a phone after all not a dedicated gaming device.
The Xplay plays all the same games any other phone you get will do but other phones dont have gaming controls this is what it comes down to (for me anyways ). I cannot see how you would want to trade playing emulators + fpse with real controls for crappier gaming...
Even without root and an unlocked bootloader this phone still has alot going for it, no other phone can offer the gaming experience this phone offers and it does the job as a phone well in my opinion.
You may just be unluckly but i hammer my gaming pad and slider and i have even droped it once and its still seems fine.
You have warranty/insurance right? Well whats the problem if it breaks get it replaced...
yh this phones annoys the f out of me but its still under devolpment u wont find a better game phone becouse proper games aint been made yet

Why is everyone trying to flame replicant for trying to open a discussion on the pro's and con's of the device, and the reason why he has decided to sell it??
This is the whole point of xda, people share there experiences and ideas, Have you ever though that a thread like this where people express there feelings about a device is usefull for people who are undecided about weather to buy the play or not.
How are people ment to make an informed decision when the first time someone says something bad about your precious device, all you fanboys jump on them like a group of thugs ... pathetic

Anyways i hear you androhero, hate the flaming when people is all but praise and good saying about a device wether it's here or another forum
The problem with posting this kind of opinion in this forum is that, if it's wrong, you're not giving any valuable information, and if you're right, you're just telling people they're a bunch.of losers for.buying this phone.
This thread belongs in a general Android thread where it can actually be read by.people considering the Play. In here, you can assume that everyone has the phone and you risk this kind of response.
The trailer is out, take note (npi) of the final screen. - Doesn't look like any timed exclusive is happening as has been suggested.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=MRxSVEM-Bto
Potentially the Android market version may only be initially available to devices that identify themselves as the Galaxy Note, but tomorrow it will supposedly be available for Android, iOS, Mac and PC.
And I would imagine the free APK will be immediately distributed for Sideloading anyway.
Regardless, not as big a deal as it was made out. Not that I care anyway, just saying
Yeah
Its stupid game anyway , not like they release the best game ever or so
So much propaganda for nonsense
hmmm...
I also heard it was for the Galaxy Note first...and I didn't even know about the iOS, Mac, PC, etc...
I'll be in no rush to get it.
(However, a 13-Tile Mahjong game...I'd paid for that in a heartbeat)
The exclusive thing about it is that note owners get extra 30 levels, but the game will still be releaser to other phones.

Wait for the "Premium pack" to be released (ie. ICS for Note).
Just tried Angry Birds Space, and its clearly not optimised for the resolution of our displays. Although the main game is full-screen, all the cut scenes and menus are obviously designed for low-res displays.
Ironic, considering this game was supposed to be so closely tied to the Note.
I'm sure a lot of ppl will agree with me saying that we don really care about the angry bird space ****.
We just want our Ice Cream Sandwich!
I downloaded it, not very fun, I uninstall less than 15mins
No offence to anyone... But what did you expect?
This is extra marketing for both companies and that's all it is... Rovio, a company that makes MILLIONS for there games wouldn't make a game optimised for what is essentially still a niche device..
Hell, optimisation will always be based more towards iPhone (if of course it were optimised for a specific device).
But, I do think its a fairly fun little time waster.. and Ill never knock something I didn't pay for. Now lets all forget this political ridiculousness and look forward to Gnote ICS Premium Suite.
Direct link to apk please?
Hmm, so the extra levels are there by default if you have a Samsung phone. Just go to Danger Zone.
So then what is all this fuss about re. the Premium Pack and its relation to Angry Birds?

I love the whole try and pull the wool over our eyes routine. I mean, they obviously missed their mark on this "flagship device" and to try and mask that they jump out with "ALL NEW EXCLUSIVE NOTE ANGRY BIRDS LEVELS!" Is that supposed to make me glad I got my note? Nope, it was the fact that it I really thought sammy would be on top of this one and we would see the updates quicker. Still a great device mind you but man I wish we got some more love from big ole samsung, nope S2 gets it, who would figure. Rant over....
In the Level-Section "Eggsteroids" is next to Level One a golden Galaxy Note, maybe this has to do something with the Galaxy-Note-exclusive part?
