Angry Birds Space won't land on Windows Phone, Redmond gets no stars

[![][1] ][2]

While no doubt swathes of Android and iOS users have experienced massive productivity slumps since [Angry Birds Space][3] came out this week, Windows Phone owners will be left staring at their spreadsheets. Peter Vesterbacka, chief marketing officer, at Rovio has told _Bloomberg_ that there are no plans to release the latest iteration of the popular time sink on Microsoft's mobile platform. Despite the original game still being the most popular app in the Marketplace, Vesterbacka claims that "...it's a big undertaking to support it, and you have to completely rewrite the application." So, until a [Series 40][4] version is confirmed, you bird slingin' Nokia fans will just have to wait.
