If you count all versions of Angry Birds on all platforms: 1 billion downloads.
Mind you, total Apple AppStore downloads are 25 billion. So there's a good chance Angry Birds is at least 1% of AppStore downloads.
More than $100 million in revenue and counting.
Even more amazing when you consider that Angry Birds was Rovio's 52nd game.
