What's my point? DON'T fuck this up, Harmonix... develop something worthy, and put some effort in it, since you are not entering a completly inmature market here. The iPhone may lack many quality games in some genres, but rythm games have already tons of competition.
Edit: Though i'm not sure if there's a game that let's you play vocals yet... still it sounds like Band Hero for DS and seems a bit odd...

And TTR still has lots of ways ahead. The third version is pretty great, but still lacks modes.
@ mclifford82: Still, TTR3 is a 1 dollar game with more than 100 free songs AND 1 extra free song a week besides the paid DLC. It is still a great deal... if not, there's still TTR2 with like 180 free songs.

It's not like Rock Band is nowadays an thoroughly original concept (even though Harmonix basically invented the modern Western rhythm games) or an "artistic vision" such as something as what, for example, Patapon (now that we have rhythm games as a topic) was. And even it got a sequel since it worked.
I understand your opinion on them being sellouts but the games _work_ and you don't have to buy them.
Surely Harmonix is becoming more and more sellout but hey, at least the games have been good for the time being - RB: Beatles and Unplugged have both been touted as good games and RB1 and 2 are very good, I can confirm that based on my own experience. GH4 on the other hand sucked.
Just my two cents but if you make the same game on many platforms you are immediately insulted as a sellout and it begins to get on my nerves a bit. : /

Course, I don't play any instrument, but then I don't play games where I play fake instruments either.
I was really just hoping that maybe, a few years down the road, Harmonix or whoever makes GH will just come out with some controllers that actually do teach you how to play the guitar at the same time you play the game.

Also, I hate so sound like a Harmonix fanboy but notice that it's EA Mobile making the announcement not Harmonix. As great as EA has been to Harmonix in getting Rock Band developed, this, unfortunately is the cost of business.

Also, GHWT's charting is OK now. Yeah, still a bit overcharted in places, but not so much as GH3 was. Many of the guitar charts looks similar on GHWT and RB2, as a matter of fact, and the drum charting is pretty accurate.

But they still do that thing where notes become double/triple/AND NOW QUAD for no reason...
