Who Are They?
On 2/17/12, the Angry Birds Facebook page added a photo gallery called "Who are they?' and included images of the Angry Birds Space characters in metal canisters. The same images appeared on the Angry Birds Google+ page, but the image names on this site gave insight into the identity of the birds in the canisters. The image titles are as follows:

Pigs in Space
The Bad Piggies will be in the game, as the background image of the Rovio Twitter page is an alternate version of the Angry Birds Space imagery seen on www.angrybirds.com/space and includes a pig silhouetted on the far right.



Angry Birds Space: Discovery
thumb|300px|rightOn 2/24/12, Rovio released a second video trailer on their Youtube channel using modified NASA footage. The video states that there will be an official announcement for the game on 3/8/12 and reiterates that it will be available for download on 3/22/12. This video was also featured on the Facebook page of Angry Birds.

Samsung Galaxy Note
A video was released on 2/27/12 on the Samsung Mobile Youtube channel showing an image of a new Space Bird that differs from images leaked previously. The bird appears to be a spaced-out version of the Yellow bird. The video also states that Angry Birds Space will be "launching with Samsung GALAXY Note."

The Rovio site states:

"Angry Birds Space is coming! The new Angry Birds game arrives on iOS, Android, PC, and Mac on March 22nd. Stay tuned to the March 8th announcement for more information! "

This indicates that the game will not be exclusive to the Samsung GALAXY note, but perhaps will be included on the device upon purchase.
