EA Games will release an iPhone version of its popular Rock Band video game.  Details are few and far between (far as in light-years), but here’s an excerpt from the MobileCrunch posting:

While wandering the halls of CTIA convention in San Diego today, we spotted a small kiosk dedicated to Rock Band Mobile. Sure enough, no iPhones in sight – just a couple of Verizon handsets. Above the kiosk, however, was an LCD screen endlessly looping through a demo reel of EA Mobile’s portfolio – and therein lied the gold. Right at the end of the reel, it pops up clear as day: Rock Band for iPhone and iPod Touch.

According to a MobileCrunch tipster, the game will include premium content and 4-player mode over Bluetooth.

Read: Yes, Rock Band is coming to iPhone. Here’s proof.

Whether it’s the faster CPU, the new PowerVR SGX graphics processor, the doubling of RAM or (most likely) the combination of the three, the new iPhone 3G S rips through the one app that killed my 3G: Google Earth.

The iPhone version of Google Earth [iTunes Link] was choppy and frustrating on the iPhone 3G.  The 3G S, on the other hand, handles the app quite well, beautifully rendering, resizing and rotating the satellite images with hardly a lag.

Now, many users may not care about graphics processing power (I am not much of a gamer, myself), but it’s clear that the new GPU is a marked improvement over the last model.  If you’re a gamer, the 3G S is calling your name.

Control freaks everywhere, take note: you can now run an entire city with your iPhone – SimCity!  Electronic Arts has ported the ever-popular SimCity to the iPhone and iPod touch.

If you’ve never changed SimCity (?!?!), you basically take charge of an entire city, controlling its design, layout, taxes, services and more.  The goal is to keep your citizens safe and happy without taxing them to death. 

SimCity is available in the iTunes Store now for $9.99.
