New ‘Angry Birds Rio’ will be exclusive to Android via Amazon App Store

Amazon have bagged exclusive rights to distribute the next version of Angry Birds: Angry Birds Rio. It will be launched through Amazon’s very own app store on the 22nd March (according to Rovio – the developers)

Why is this such a big deal? Well, Angry Birds on Android has sold 30 million copies alone so Amazon having exclusive rights to distribute this sure-to-be-sought-after new version can only mean a good launch for Amazon’s new store.

How well the store will hold up is yet to be seen as it faces stiff competition from Google’s Market.
