A little embarrassing that even a dead os like palm is noted but not BlackBerry. Will BlackBerry ever see the type of support from developers as other os'? I hope the tide changes for BB10.
That's a little bit insulting to try to rate some tablets more relevant than others. Plus, I'd would feel a little more comfortable if they had said "get the game to all relevant devices, including the playbook,..". Could you maybe email her back and double check that they consider the Playbook relevant?
Unfortunately, BlackBerry is the only mobile platform (currently) where the ONLY way to play games like Angry Birds or Cut the Rope -- or even having the ability to have apps matching the competition -- is on a tablet device, causing developers to skip BlackBerry.
Yes - these games might be compatible with BlackBerry 10 phones but not until late 2012 and even then we'll probably won't see the full effect of this new OS well until 2013-2014.
It's sad BlackBerry 10 wasn't ready a year ago (early 2011).
if im not mistaken RIM takes 30% Devs take 70%. which is the same as Apple. at one point i believe RIM gave 80% to Devs and took 20% but changed it due to more resources offered Devs so they needed abit more for the extra services offered. I believe somewhere here it was also stated that RIM even shares some of the revenue from apps they get with Carriers who are on board with carrier billing for App World
this is true however they create a seprate game from the ones on the iPhone and the ones on iPad which you also see the price differences there too. so it shouldnt be an issue.
I am really interested when will be the angry Bird's new innovation on the hill.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that maybe it isn't such a bad thing that this game isn't available on the PB yet:

May have been mentioned here already, but Rovio in their infinite wisdom is basically delivering a portion of the game initially, and charging users for additional levels. I can see a very irate PB user base over that, many of whom would likely (and inappropriately) be venting their anger at RIM, much as many are already doing here. I know I wouldn't be happy.
I've got plenty of other things I can do with my PB; so as far as I'm concerned, if this is going to be the strategy going forward, Rovio can stick it.
angry birds are nothing more than this generations pac-man.
i don't see how they can be successful going public long-term.
angry birds will be nothing more than a trivia question in 5 years.
You just answered your own question by having to resort to "oversimplification". Unfortunately, the real world is VERY complicated and nuanced and hence, what cost .99 cents for one fruit is $4.99 for the other. There are one of those real world nuances again.
I'm pretty convinced at this point this has more to do with perception than reality.
