WebOS essentially keeps both your current app AND the media player LIVE in the same screen with the focus on your current app, but with media player navigation functionality. And if you're switching back and forth between the two, no double-tapping is required. With Apple, you have to double-tap EVERY time you want to change the media playing in the background.
I think I'll file that one in the 'wait and see' category. I'm not sure which I'd prefer until I've actually tried it on the Pre. If, for instance, I listen to some music in the morning and finish by hitting pause and then the music player bar sits there at the bottom of every app I use during the day I can see that as being pretty annoying. Alternatively, if the music player bar disappears when I hit pause, that would be pretty annoying too if I only wanted to pause the music for a short time. Palm may have a solution to this, but I'm struggling to see what it will be.
