Ruminations: Angry Birds gets passed…Again |

First The Heist and now Cars 2. It seems like Angry Birds is facing more and more competition, holding steady at the number 2 place on Top Paid Apps instead of the number 1 slot it held for what seemed like forever. I guess it makes sense that another puzzle game with a lot of hype and an app based on an anticipated movie hit should get enough buzz to claim the top rank, but it never fails to surprise me when I don’t see the Birds flying high in their fury. However, this leaves me wondering: will there ever be a non-game app to reign king (especially considering that all of the Top 10 Paid Apps are Games)? Has Angry Birds completely changed the competitive landscape, in particular for paid apps? Will our feathered friends ever lose their flutter, or are they forever destined to be among the top ranks? Where do you see the top trending?
