Mobile Crunch is reporting today that the popular music video game Rock Band is headed to the iPhone and iPod Touch, including premium content and 4-way multiplayer via Bluetooth.
The confirmation, says the article, comes from the CTIA convention where a kiosk dedicated to mobile Rock Band shows off a splash screen that says Rock Band for iPhone and iPod Touch.
The kiosk only shows the splash screen for about a second so there is little other info available about the upcoming port.
We will keep you updated.

Intel Corporation demonstrated the anticipated Larrabee graphics processor earlier this week at the Intel Developer Forum. Sean Maloney, chief sales and marketing officer for Intel, showed off a working version of the chip rendering a game environment built on ray tracing, a resource demanding technique for generating high-quality 3D graphics and often used with professional animated features.
The Larrabee chip was used in conjunction with the hexa-core “Gulftown” processor scheduled for release next year. The graphics processor is based on “Westmere” 32-nanometer architecture. Intel’s first Westmere-based chip is due to ship in the final quarter of 2009.
Maloney said that Larrabee will eventually be used for a discrete graphics card used in high-end gaming PCs and workstations. “We’ve got a discrete product coming up,” he said. It will be incorporated in system-on-a-chip (SoC) products for handheld devices, according to Maloney. He said it will be an easier programming platform for developers since it is built on x86 architecture.
“We’re keeping the programming model very close to what would be seen as conventional,” Maloney said. In the mean-time, Intel is reading new integrated graphics technology, an area that the chip-maker dominates in.

Thanks to a new ruling in the U.S. District Court of Miami, a lawsuit filed last year against socialite Paris Hilton will go ahead to trial, despite pleas from her lawyers to have the case thrown out.
The lawsuit is over Hilton’s lack of promotion for her film National Lampoon’s Pledge This , which had a limited theatrical run before being released on DVD by Vivendi.
The suit was filed by the investor group Worldwide Entertainment Group which claims the socialite’s lack of promotion cost them $8.3 million USD in investments based on the film’s performance.
According to IMDB, in the movie Hilton plays a sorority president who takes in a group of unconventional freshman girls seeking acceptance into her house. The movie is also ranked #31 in the Bottom 100 list of all time, with a 1.6/10 rating.
