There is no denying the Angry Birds phenomenon. Rovio Mobile, the developers behind the multi-platform Angry Birds app, have just announced a staggering stat — over 1 million Android downloads in 1 day. Following yesterdays launch, GetJar had brief outages due to overwhelming traffic. Android users were told: “The page you are looking for is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later”. iOS users have had the one up on their Android counterparts for a while now. However, with these impressive numbers, and given Android’s growing smartphone market-share, there seems to be no stopping the avian juggernauts.

UPDATE: Make that 2 million downloads in 2 days!

      Perhaps the subject matter we are posting on is the source of the problem?

    Boring, yes it got boring after a few days. I rather play Cut the Rope, much more fun.

    GetJar didn’t have “brief outtages”, it was actually down for the entire day. As soon as I received the mail from Rovio at about 10am I clicked through to a failed download or site offline. I tried it every hour or so for the whole day until I finally managed to download the app at about 11pm (CET as I’m in Germany). Epic Fail.
    However, the app itself rocks :-)
