10,000,000: A Space Odyssey

Following its release on Thursday, Angry Birds Space has been downloaded 10m times, according to Rovios Twitter account. By comparison, the developers previous Angry Birds Rio game took 10 days to reach the same milestone, seven days longer – clearly, the demand for chucking the blobby avians at wobbly structures hasnt slowed down one bit.

Its not clear how that divides between Android and iOS – the app is free on the former, but costs $0.99 (or 69p) for iPhone, and $2.99 on iPad, with the option to pay another $0.99 cents for additional levels – or the Windows and Mac versions.

Noticeably absent from that list of platform is Windows Phone 7 – following reports that the app wouldnt be coming to the OS, Rovio CEO Mikael Hed has confirmed that a WP7 version will be developed, but no launch date has been confirmed.
