It took just two days for the popular Angry Birds game to record 2 million downloads on the Android platform, the game's developer tweeted earlier today.
The game was released on Friday for Android users on the cross-platform app store, GetJar, and after the servers had trouble keeping up, Rovio chucked the app into the Android Market.
Angry Birds is free for Android users, whereas the iPhone version still costs 99 cents. It is, however, supported by ads on Android.
"Paid apps have not done very well on Android," Rovio explained in a Twitter post.
Nevertheless, Rovio plans to bring a paid, ad-free version of Angry Birds to Android sometime in the future.
