"Rovio, developer of popular mobile game Angry Birds, is seeking to enter the US stock market. Such a move would make the Finnish development studio one of the few digital-only developers to be publicly traded on the stock market.  &amp;quot;The plan is to seek an initial public offering in New York, but the specific timing and details are still open,&amp;quot; Rovio said in a statement. &amp;quot;The investment will transform Rovio&amp;#039;s growth, allowing it to increase its reach internationally, and across markets including mobile, social media and other platforms, and via merchandising and media production and partnerships.&amp;quot; Angry Birds, which recently received a St. Patrick&amp;#039;s Day update, first released on the iPhone in 2009 and has been downloaded more than 100 million times since.  The Android version of Angry Birds has already topped 30 million downloads. Versions of Angry Birds for Facebook and Windows Phone 7 are also in development. Other tie-ins, including a board game and TV series, are currently in the works. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
