Angry Birds Space to launch on Samsung's Galaxy Note (video)

Richard Lawler

Rovio described the upcoming Angry Birds Space as its biggest launch since the original game, but has been coy about platform details until now, as Samsung has revealed it's launching on the Galaxy Note. We're not sure how the phablet's 5-inch (or possible 10.1-inch) display comes into play, but the extra area can't hurt. Other than the "Houston... we have a slingshot" tagline there's not many other details revealed, but if you're (still) obsessed with taking down those pigs once and for all then press play on the teaser video above.

Angry Birds Space to launch on Samsung's Galaxy Note (video) originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 27 Feb 2012 01:52:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

At the time the iPhone was introduced, its 3.5-inch screen was considered huge. Samsung upped the ante with the 4.5-inch Infuse smartphone in January 2011. On the tablet side, screens were getting smaller, shrinking the distance between phone and tablet display sizes. There were many 7-inch tablets introduced, including the original Galaxy Tab, and less expensive successors, including the Kindle Fire, Nook Color, and Google Nexus 7. A new notion was emerging about the convergence of smartphones and tablets. But the term "phablet" — something between a phone and a tablet&nb... Read similar

Angry Birds Toons premiering this weekend in Angry Birds apps

www.tuaw.com Mike Schramm 65 days ago

Rovio has long been threatening to bring Angry Birds into other media, and this weekend they're finally doing it -- kind of.

Why are the birds so angry? Why do the pigs love the eggs so much? Rovio promises this s... Read similar

BII REPORT: Why Phablets Aren't Just A Fad

www.businessinsider.com Business Insider 87 days ago

At the time the iPhone was introduced, its 3.5-inch screen was considered huge. When Sprint introduced the first 4G phone, the HTC EVO 4G, in mid-2010, many thought the 4.3-inch display would be too large, but the phone was a hit. Samsung upped the ante with the 4.5-inch Infuse smartphone in January 2011. On the tablet side, screens were getting smaller, shrinking the distance between phone and tablet display sizes.

techcrunch.com Catherine Shu 139 days ago

Samsung has shipped its millionth Galaxy Note II "phablet" in South Korea just over 90 days after its launch, according to MK News (via Sammy Hub, h/t to TNW).

This latest milestone is yet more proof that consumers have become increasingly accustomed to gigantic smartphones that can, in a pinch, serve as a handy disguise by masking your entire face.Read similar

If Rovio wants to rival Disney, it's going to need to broaden its distribution network, right?
