Angry Birds was released as a mini title on PSN for PS3 and PSP back in January with XBLA and Wii versions also planned. It was recently confirmed that a 3DS version was on its way.

If I remember reading right from other site, Petri will be handling the developement of the future Angry Birds releases, while still having a position at Remedy.

Well, who knows.

Petri has been on the board of the company and continues on this role offering higher level guidance and strategic leadership. He has been in this role since around spring 2008. So, everything continues as before on that front. We are friends and in touch every week - and I get to kick his butt on the squash court

He has a lot to offer and I know he is excited about taking Angry Birds even further.
