The concept couldn't be simpler. Three columns of dots hurtle towards the "Home" key, and you have to tap them in time with the music. As you nail more notes in succession, your multiplier (and, in turn, your score) continues to climb. You'll occasionally have to use the phone's accelerometer to shake it instead of tap.
There's also a surprisingly enjoyable two-player mode that allows you and a friend to grip either side of the phone (make sure they wash their hands first) and tap the dots now careening toward both ends of the phone.
Besides being free, the game also has some additional songs you can download -- not a bad value-add for a game that was free in the first place. iPhone owners: Give it a shot and let us know what you think. Non-iPhone owners: Please be more dedicated about trying to get an iPhone.

Non-iPhone folks could also comfort themselves with StepMania; not sure if there's a port of that for WinMobile or not.

Why should she keep it? What is it that makes the blackberry worth getting over an iPhone?
I love the OS and GUI on it. I love it's functionality and ease of use (I didn't have any trouble at all). It's reliable, small and sleek...
I don't know..personal preference again. But I would rather spend my money on an iTouch and set it up for voip than actually buy the iPhone and pay for it's exorbitant data plans.
I think the iPhone's biggest advantage right now is the huge amount of apps (a lot of free ones) coming out every day, and how easy it is to install and delete them. Maybe I'm missing something though. Do you have any good sites you go to for free blackberry apps? Can you recommend any good apps?

that works to...just..so you know
Another cool thing about this is that they're holding a contest for songwriters to have your song featured as a downloadable track in the game. You send your song in, and if it's chosen, they add the gameplay to it. It's a good way to get some exposure, and for them to get some royalty free music to use.
My favorite (free) game is still Aurora Feint. A great Tetris Attack / Planet Puzzle League clone with RPG elements (like Puzzle Quest).

The tap tap tap song is my fave
Side note: It would be great to have a dedicated iPhone section on joystiq

And for iPod Touch, just custom firmware it and you won't need to pay for 2.0 and it isn't illegal either.
