National Hysteria Averted – Angry Birds Coming to Windows Phone 7

Whew, that was a close one folks. The sorta saved by the bell type of thing, or is that saved from a flock of angry bird players?

But yes, we can all rest easy now as Tom Warren at Winrumors has sent out the national alert: Angry Birds is coming to Windows Phone 7.

Rovio has also confirmed that Angry Birds is Windows Phone 7 bound:

“We’re working on it,” said Rovio’s Peter Vesterbacka, when Pocket-lint asked him if and when Angry Birds will be available on Windows Phone 7. Microsoft’s legal team has been holding up a potential deal according to Vesterbacka. “Let’s just say, Microsoft has a lot of lawyers,” he said.

However, don’t get to anxious and camp out on the doorstep of the marketplace as we actually won’t see Angry Birds until the mysterious “Mango” update for Windows Phone 7.
