A free version of the Rock Band iPhone came out yesterday, and supplemented with this bit of information, it’s clear that EA is still committed to this project.  Kotaku reached out to EA and received word back from them that “some new premium tracks will soon be available at a low price on the music store.”  In relation to the console and portable versions of Rock Band, tracks for the iPhone app are $.99 for 2 tracks, so if you enjoy the game on the iPhone, it’s actually a pretty good deal.  Although, I wouldn’t expect any tracks to show up on the iPhone app that haven’t showed up on the console versions.

Thanks to @iTapple on Twitter for alerting me to something on the Austrian iTunes Store.  Apparently, there is a FREE version of the Rock Band iPhone/iPod Touch app available, and I’m assuming it will roll out soon to the other countries iTunes stores, as well.  The only catch is that it only contains one song, the Foo Fighters’ “Learn to Fly,” but what do you expect for a free app?  I was able to grab a picture from the Austrian store that shows the gratis (free) app above.  So if you were hesitant on committing the $6.99 to the app and not liking it, check out the free version when it hits your iTunes store.

In the meantime, here’s a link to the current version of the Rock Band iPhone app on iTunes.

UPDATE: The FREE app is now live.  Here is a link to the free version in iTunes.

An ingenious young fellow by the name of Joe Bowers wasn’t just satisfied with playing the Rock Band iPhone app himself. Instead, he built something to take over for him. Joe recently created Skynet a robot that is capable of taking over the world independently playing the Rock Band app for the iPhone. I wouldn’t even know where to begin on making something like that.

Videos of it in action after the jump…

I know this is a busy weekend for everyone.  Halloween is tomorrow, which means most of the day will be spent putting the finishing touches on your costume for that big Halloween bash you’re going to, and most of Sunday will be spent in the shower scrubbing off that makeup that claims it washes off easily (I know, I’ve been there).  But you’ve got an extra hour this weekend because of Daylight Savings Time.  Why not spend $6.99 for that Rock Band iPhone/iPod Touch app (this weekend only), and play for an extra hour.  C’mon, treat yourself!

You can download the app here, or just visit the App Store on your iPhone/iPod Touch!

At least, it’s live right now on iTunes in Australia and New Zealand.  UPDATE: It came out for the US at midnight Eastern last night, download it here. As you can see, this is the International version, and in Australia it is priced at $12.99 AUD (with 2 song DLC packs for $1.19 each), which converts to just under $12 US, although I’m still standing by my $9.99 prediction.  And although I cannot confirm it, since it is Monday right now in Australia and New Zealand, I’m assuming that the app will be released tomorrow in North America.  Here’s a link to the app if you don’t believe me, but it may only work if you are logged into Australia’s iTunes store.

Check out the pictures from the iTunes store below!

Have a good weekend everyone, but before you do, take a look at this teaser for the forthcoming iPhone/iPod Touch Rock Band app (FYI, I SWEAR this is my life):
