Engadget - Rovio has announced that in 2011, it made a huge $106.3 million turnover and a whopping $67.6 million in profit (before tax), showing that flinging feathery fowl is a very serious business. Fueled by the success of Angry Birds, Seasons and Rio, the company grew by a factor of eight in the last year, from 28 employees all the way to 224.

Huffington Post - * Rovio dismisses reports it has ignored WP
* Says working on Angry Birds Space for WP, launch date not set
HELSINKI, March 23 (Reuters) - Rovio is working on getting its new Angry Birds Space game to Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 platform (WP7), its chief executive said on Friday, putting Nokia and other Windows phones more on a par with the iPhone.
Rovio, the makers of the amazing game, Angry Birds, have been sued over their patent.
Lodsys is to blame, who are situated over in Texas, US. Rovio is not the only company that has been targetted in this allegation, however they are recieving the most media attention due to Angry Birds being such a large game. This is making Lodsys more determined to get in there for a bigger payout, but this is unlikely with such huge companies involved. Don’t they ever learn. Samsung versus Apple, remember?
