The world's most rockin' smartphone is going to take it to the next level when Rock Band hits the iPhone app store later this month. Rock Band for the iPhone lets you play guitar, bass, drums or vocals to over a dozen songs including songs by the Beastie Boys, Foo Fighters, Lynard Skynard, Smashing Pumpkins and the Go-Go's.

Tap Tap Revenge is currently top of the charts for tapping out rhythmns on the iPhone, and you can expect a similar playstyle with Rock Band on the iPhone. But Rock Band will up the ante by including a career mode and allowing multiplayer games either through bluetooth or via your Internet connection using Facebook Connect to find friends to jam with.

And Harmonix has promised to deliver a good collection of downloadable songs for an undisclosed (but expect around $.99) fee.
