Angry Birds by Rovio is available for your iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Verizon Droid, Blackberry & more!

Although I try to delegate most of my iPadding to productive tinkering like to-do lists (Taksa), concept sketches (Adobe Ideas), blogging (WordPress), proposals (Pages), and keeping up with the times (NPR, BBC News, TIME Magazine, Paris Match…), it’s hard to resist the smattering of impeccably designed gaming apps available on my new favorite gadget. One evening, after a long day of PHP code, I found a surprise that YZ had left in my section of our iPad library: Angry Birds. A couple weeks and a big fat 105 levels later the game was conquered and had earned a quick-access spot on my iPad dock.

Collaboratively built by the Helsinki-based viral development and marketing company Rovio (of which Angry Birds is just one of dozens of games the firm has built for bigwigs like Nokia, Vivendi, Namco Bandai, and Apple) and gaming publisher Chillingo (of Minigore, Sneezies, Knights Onrush, and Zombie Wonderland greatness), this endlessly ROTFL game is a must-get — and modestly priced at just $5 from the app store. Be sure to delve into the game with your device’s sound nice and loud, as the snorting piggies and cackling birds are just the tip of this iceberg. Weave through 105 levels of porky destruction and build up an arsenal of 5 species of Angry Birds, each with their own destructive specialty! And if you’re a physics geek, there’s even more to love as this game is all about mastering the parabola!
