Angry Birds available on Android for free, crashes company's website - CSMonitor.com
Beginning today, Rovio Mobile will offer the Android edition of its best-selling application for free, first through the download site GetJar.com, and then on the Android Marketplace. “We want to make Angry Birds available for as many people as possible," Rovio wrote in a press statement, according to the tech blog Mashable. By comparison, the full version of Angry Birds currently costs $.99 on Apple iTunes.
But the news of a free Angry Birds app was all apparently a bit much for the Rovio site, which crashed sometime this morning, and remains – as of about 1 p.m. – mostly out of action. "Oops! Due to the enormous traffic generated by the Android launch of Angry Birds, rovio.com is down," reads a note appended to the site. (The download links remain active – so you can still get your Angry Birds fix.)
