Everyone's favourite enraged avians will shortly be landing on Windows Phone 7 as Rovio Mobile has confirmed that it is working on a version of Angry Birds for the platform. Interestingly enough it seems that any delay in bringing the super popular game to Windows Phone might have been due to none other than Microsoft ...
Peter Vesterbacka, Rovio's 'Mighty Eagle', commented "Let's just say, Microsoft has a lot of lawyers." Ouch! That doesn't sound like a recipe for plain sailing now does it? Presumably Microsoft much be feeling some anxiety over not having one of the biggest, if not the biggest, mobile gaming title available for their platform.
Apart from run ins with the Big M Rovio are also working on a 3D version of Angry Birds because ... well I don't actually know to be honest, but apparently these days everything is better in 3D. With gaming systems like the Nintendo 3DS and handsets like the Optimus 3D coming to market I suppose there is now the hardware there to actually run such a game.
As for when we can expect to see any of this I'm afraid your guess is as good as mine. Windows Phone users and 3D enthusiasts will just have to keep watching the skies for those Angry Birds.
