Just to let everybody know that Rovio have now launched Angry Birds (all 150 levels) FOR FREE for ANDROID..
The bad news: the Rovio website, the getjar website (to download it from) are all down (even teh mobile getjar that one is advised to get it from due to high site traffic) because of too much traffic...argh.... I hope they won't change it from free when the sites are back up...

Have a search around as some people are mirroring the download.
Angry Birds is a decent game however Cut The Rope is far better IMO which has sold over 1 million games in just 10 days making it the fastest selling iOS game to date.
Not in this case they don't! I have no idea why some people cannot find the beta app in the marketplace but it is certainly there (and installs correctly without needing to enable the 'unknown source' setting) for me.
The app store only shows, I believe, compatible apps for your phone. E.g. I have a Desire and my friend a Wildfire. Weatherbug simply isn't there when they search for it from the Wildfire but is on my Desire.

I agree. I wasn't able to find Angry Birds Lite for my wife's Wildfire, but it was available for my Desire running FroYo.

That makes sense actually. The email I had confirming the full release did list the minimum phone specifications needed to run it.
Well, downloaded the full version of Angry Birds and have been thoroughly enjoying it. The ads are unobtrustive, but I'm surprised that Rovio have taken this route. The revenue they get from this can't possibly match what they would have got for selling it at 99c/69p or whatever, not to mention that the ads are so unobtrusive that there's little incentive to buy the paid-for version when (or if) it finally arrives.
This would have been a great experiment if they had released it in the same way as it was in the App Store. Many people are constantly saying it's impossible (or at least harder) to make money from the Android Market. Angry Birds would have been a great litmus test: the best selling iPhone app now on Android. How would it fare? Would they make money? Would the number of purchased downloads reach anywhere near the same level as they did on the iPhone? It would have been interesting to see what happened, and it's a shame that we don't get the chance to.
Would I have still downloaded Angry Birds if it had cost me 69p? Hell, yeah. Anywhere this side of £3 would probably have been a sale for me.
I love angry birds on my iPhone and iPod touch. Very very addictive
It really is - gets me through boring lectures quickly Just hol the ipod under the desk while the lecturer drones on, fire up angry birds and the lecture's over in no time!

Been waiting for a full version of this for weeks now. The demo was the first app/game I downloaded
Must've been playing at least 3 hours today, and I've come to a crashing halt on level 3-2 of the first episode. I have the same damn pig left every sodding time!!! Grrrr!
Angry Birds doesn't appear on the market for my Hero, but you can still get it like this.
Using your phone, go to m.getjar.com (don't enter http:// or www.)
Select Quick Download code on the bottom of the page.
Enter Code: 43600 to begin download.
All completely legit.
EDIT: I've just had another look at the site, and this method should work for Wildfire users as well. (no promises) Maybe someone can give it a go and report back??
I'm in the same situation.. only that I have tried without the sim card (O2) first (accessing the Android Market via Wi-Fi).. then with the sim card (again accessing via Wi-Fi).. and in both instances there was no Angry Birds on the Android market
THe Galaxy S is new and was bought sim free via Amazon in Germany.. All I can find on the Android market is a theme
Does anybody know if there's a way to install the game in a different way?
does this happen often with the Galaxy S? Only I'm due for an upgrade this month and was thinking of getting the Galaxy S

When I do this I get the music and no image, its off screen at the top but nothing can be clicked.

Downloaded it yesterday and already wiped out the battery on my Desire playing it
