Rock Band is out for iPhone and iPod Touch
Toy instruments dumped in favour of generic press-press-press action
As of right now and this very second, you may jump rather belatedly onto the exploding music game bandwagon, thanks to the iPhone version of Electronic Arts' much-adored music sim.
Up on the App Store now for a medium-to-large price of £5.99, iPhone Rock Band has obviously seen a rather massive reworking for the handheld market. There are no plastic drums. No guitar. It doesn't even use the microphone to let you sing along, and the only multiplayer options are conducted via the crude, last-generation Bluetooth system.
It has been stripped down and left broken, a bit like when Robbie Williams left Take That.
But if you do fancy a go on this barebones reimagination, that's great - and particularly great for EA, which is selling additional music tracks for 99p each. If you're not into all the microtransaction business, the standard £5.99 package arrives with 20 tracks to play. And that 20 includes 'The Ace of Spades' by Motorhead and other popularist classics like 'Sabotage' by the Beastie Boys, 'Hanging on the Telephone' by Blondie and, er, some things by Blink 182 and the Foo Fighters.
Or, if you'd prefer not to pay any money at all, cheap clone Tap Tap Revenge does a very similar sort of thing - and early versions of that can be had for free, allowing you to literally rage against the EA machine.

The Free iPhone Guide
To get yourself a free iPhone, iPod Touch, or the latest Macbook Air all you have to do is follow the 3 easy steps:
Step 1 : Sign up for a free Gift
Sign up at the link below to get your free gift. We recommend this free gift site because it's been TRIED and TESTED to work.
http://Gifts.real-incentives.com/2992 (copy and paste into address bar)
You can choose other prizes like free Laptops from this site too! Make sure you use a real email address. Use your real details when you sign up so that the company knows where to send your gift! Remember that they have been proven legitimate, so will send you your free gift if you do everything legitimately!
Step 2 : Try an advertiser's offer
Basically all you need to do in this step is complete one of the offers, this is where the freebie site make their money, if you complete an offer then the freebie site will recieve commission for it. So if you complete Coral which will only cost you £5 to complete, the freebie site gets £25 from Coral. The two best offers are Lovefilm Free DVD rental (a no obligation free DVD trial) and Coral (bet £5 on a sport). I would reccommend you do Coral as it credits in an hour and is really simple to do, Lovefilm however can become complicated and takes up to 4 weeks to credit! You can also try one of the other offers, most are gambling offers. Don't skip this step! You must complete this step to get your free gift!
Step 3 : Refer some friends
This part is a lot easier than it seems, especially now with free gift sites getting so popular. There's lots of people online who want a free iPhone, Touch or macbook too, so start referring them! You only need to get a few signups before you'll be finished. You can ask your friends or your online buddies. I already got a free iPhone without even having to ask my friends for help - there's lots of people online who want a free iPhone like you! One of the easiest ways to get a referral is to do a favour for a friend and ask them to sign up in return. That way, you both can get a free gift!
