I’m covering a lot of mobile payments solutions and developments here at the Mobile World Congress 2011 and I can think of no better way to start off that segment than by speaking with the head honcho at Rovio (maker of the fabulously popular game Angry Birds)…Ladies and Gentlemen…your friend and mine…Peter Vesterbacka.

Rovio is actually relevant in the payments space, as Peter notes in my ghetto-style iPhone video below, because they are actively engaged in developing carrier partnerships to facilitate their own form of payments for in-game purchases and beyond.
