Angry Birds Big

Well what do we have here? Angry Birds is coming to Windows Phone 7, and no other than Microsoft’s own site has confirmed this.

The Angry Birds icon can be found on Microsoft’s Tips & Tricks page for Windows Phone 7 here. Scroll to the bottom of that page and look above the text “Less want it. More got it”. In the image above that text you’ll see the Angry Birds famous app icon.

Hit View Post to see the evidence :)

Update: Rovio has asked Microsoft to remove the icon from their site. Rovio hasn’t confirmed or denied a possible Windows Phone 7 version of Angry Birds.
