Great news for the Windows Phone platform - the developers behind Angry Birds Space, released this week, have announced that a version for WP7 is under development, just hours after saying they had no plans to release Angry Birds Space on Microsoft's mobile ecosystem. However, Rovio Mobile's CMO Peter Vesterbacka’s admitted porting the world's most popular mobile game on Windows Phone OS would mean 'a lot of work to technically support it for minimal return.' On release earlier in the week, Angry Birds Space for Android and iOS shot to number one download, but Windows Phone support was eerily absent, and asked whether the omission was a deliberate snub, Vesterbacka complained [...]

Nokia has never been afraid to introduce new technologies in its smartphones. Take their flexible displays, for instance.
