Well that makes it a tad unusable.

I've been looking forward to mobile Spotify for a while - it's something I'd pay the premium subscription costs to use.  I have an S60 phone, and it's in the pipeline for that, but it's one thing that had made me envy iPhone users.

Until an early user pointed out to me that you can't have background apps on the iPhone, which means that whenever you read your email you lose your music player.

D'oh!

Not true. The music player app is privileged and allowed to run a background thread; the only thing that interrupts it is an incoming phone call. (I regularly read ebooks using Stanza after setting some music playing.)
