After that, the download became available in the official Android Market, adding another million to the ticker in the next day. It may not sound like a lot for a game that's free, but it is. There has been no other game, no matter the cost,which has reached that level of momentum on Android.
Neither developer Rovio nor publisher Chillingo have made any money from the free downloads - it's been an attempt to gain momentum on Android devices -butthey will be putting out additional premium content in the future. Meanwhile, iPhone gamers still have to pay 99 cents for their opportunity to play Angry Birds. Seven million of them already have.
