Angry Birds, the runaway success mobile game, has hit 500 million total global downloads this week, in just under 2 years of availability.

The game is available for iOS, Android, the Chrome browser, PCs, macs, webOS, the PS3 and Symbian.

Overall, gamers have played "200,000 man years of Angry Birds," says the developer.
