Angry Birds and Rovio IPO… Heaven (or Hell) Can Wait

If you have been following the world of video games, social media, smartphones, and the new tablet computing craze, chances are high that you have run across Angry Birds.  If you follow the world of high finance, chances are high that you know of a potential initial public offering by Rovio, maker of Angry Birds.

The Finnish company was not in our TOP 17 IPOs TO WATCH IN 2012 but it was noted with an honorable mention.  The problem is that the company was never committed to a 2012 drop-date for an IPO.  Now it appears that the company is going to be looking out to 2013 for its IPO.

Reuters noted that the video game creator is still planning to come public.  Since the 2009 launch it has seen more than 600 million downloads.  These can be bought or they can be had for free with advertisements.  The enterprise value today is supposedly $9 billion.
