Is 'Rock Band' Coming to the iPhone?

iPhone 'Rock Band' Announcement Tomorrow?
Rumor has it that, tomorrow morning, gaming giant EA will announce that its 'Rock Band' property is making its way to the iPhone. Any details concerning the release date, price, and song list likely won't be known till an official announcement, which has got to be the "big news" EA is tweeting about.

IGN broke the news about the upcoming iPhone rhythm game. If the rumors are, in fact, true, it would put serious pressure on the iPhone's existing king of rhythm, 'TapTap Revenge,' and 'Guitar Hero,' which has not yet made the jump to the Apple handset. Adding to evidence of an impending launch, TechCrunch cited a press release it recently received for the Verizon handset version of 'Rock Band.' For some reason, it references the iPhone in the title, the file being called 'Rock Band Verizon iPhone Fact Sheet_V3.docx.'

Not including downloadable track packs, this would be the seventh iteration of 'Rock Band,' the most recent of which is the Beatles version. This will keep the EA series in the headlines for a bit longer, but it could further dilute the series. The game is already starting to feel a bit stale, even though it's been less than three years since its debut. [From: IGN and TechCrunch, Via: Joystiq]
