Droid Life readers, you’ve done it again. After breaking the news that Angry Birds beta would be available this Friday to anyone who signed up to be a tester, you responded in a big enough way that Rovio was forced into exploring a new distribution method. That’s right, they now plan on releasing the beta into the Android Market rather than having to send out thousands of emails. Nice work people.
In an email to Talk Android, we get the following…
Angry Birds Begin Hatching On Android
This week, we were planning to run a closed beta test of Angry Birds Lite for Android. Due to the massive response and demand from the Android community, we have decided to make Angry Birds Lite Beta available for everybody through the Android Market this Friday.
Please note that this will be the beta version of the application which is still undergoing final testing before official release. Angry Birds Lite Beta is presented on an “as is” basis, and we cannot guarantee its functionality on every Android device.
Angry Birds Lite Beta will run on second generation Android devices and upwards…
Watch for it Friday! And remember that this version is only “beta” and will have some bugs.

if you are on the HTC EVO 4G don't bother. three friends have it and we all downloaded it and it starts to load and then returns to the home screen. Sad pandas

HAHAHAHA we all got played. Can't believe I gave up my email address. Let the junk mail begin.
SOOOOOOOOOOWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hopefully this will let game developers realize that android is a great place to release quality games. We need more great games, this is a good start.
Awesome
I played this on my friends ICrap and I loved it so cant wait to try it on android.
Interesting. Or was it really all a ploy to gather all of those email addresses for future marketing all along? We’ll see how many future emails we all get.
First?
Nice

We never disappoint
Yes sir something to do while I’m supposed to be working
Birds What birds lol
Whoa, what happened to the comments??
This game is getting a lot of hype. I’ve never heard of it but given all the excitement I will definitely have to check it out. I hope android developers can continue to port over some of the better games from that other device!
I was just getting used to disqus…
Droid_Life does it again! 😉
wondering what they consider “2nd Generation”… better special effects? does this mean I have to remove my ST-TOS sound effects for it to work?
Or they just got all our email addresses and planned it this way all along. 😛
Cant wait! I played this game on my friends iPhart and it was pretty awesome, so Im lookin forward to downloading! … by the way, what happened to disqus?! we cant like/reply to comments anymore?
So what kind of game is 5 angry birds? Any fun?
Looking forward to killing time at work with this!
Never played it but i hear good things. Oh, and First! my first first actually .
Don't you watch Pokemon? Birds eat bugs!
On the one hand, I applaud them using the market for this, on the other, I can't wait to see </sarcasm> the comment thread, first from people that don't understand that this is BETA, and then later when they release the final product all the people crying “scam” because they will then have to pay for it.
Love Android, love the apps, hate the vast number of idiots that comment in the Marketplace.
That is what I use the report comment button on the Market for. They just need to add a 'Commenter is dumb” option for what you are reporting.
Hahaha, Droid-life Does!
i played this game on my brother's i*od and i couldnt get passed level 2. am i just retarded or what? haha
yes you are!
Nice. Waste of time signing up then?
Yep
