Any breakdown on how many were free downloads vs. how many were paid? We keep hearing the DL numbers -- but a lot (like mine on my phone) were freebies. Mike from Morgantown

You're probably looking at the vast majority (90%) being free. Of course, its not truly free - Rovio uses ads rather effectively to generate income. Somewhere to the tune of $0.10/user per month.

Took me about 5 minutes to try and delete it from my Android phone. Nice concept tho.

Some of these comments are just idiotic - You don't have to download and / or play the game if you don't like it folks! There's wanting more of what you like, which is fine, and then there's wanting what you DON'T like to be restricted, and honestly that's the definition of immaturity.

I too did, but this ones has let me down, i didn't expect from rovio to become a dlc whore and give only a few levels. Three world with only 90 levels total for the $ version. Another series that i will play...when i die.
