There was never any question the Amazon’s exclusive release of Angry Birds Rio was little more than a marketing ploy to drive traffic to their newly established Android Appstore, but it looks like Rovio won’t be putting all those eggs in one basket after all. Merely a week after Amazon launched the app (which is still free through this week), Angry Birds Rio has come catapulting into the Android Market as a free download.
Now, Amazon does still offer exclusive ad-free paid versions of various Angry Bird titles, but Rovio no doubt didn’t want to miss out on the millions of dollars of ad revenue they have been banking through the Android Market. If you have had some aversion to grabbing this title through Amazon, head over to the Google’s market and grab it now.
