I assume that Apple will eventually incorporate feature of lala.com into itunes that should provide similar features of Pandora. Matt’s invention sounds fantastic. You should all invest.

Your idea is good for some forms of multitasking, but not for others. For example I often enjoy having Pandora play in the background while I am surfing the net or working on who knows what else. This is not possible. Multitasking in the truest sense of the word is still impossible, but this would be a giant step forward from where they are now.

A great solution. But I think more than likely I will have 3 gadgets on my lap and use the best one for the job. I already do this. I’m going to market a waist-mounted rig. That holds my iPhone, my ipad, and my MacBook pro. Counterbalanced of course by a gas generator on my back. Or a solar collection unit helmet. Any investors out there interested?

This is a great UI idea. Bravo.I’m still skeptical that apple will implement multitasking for third-party apps. It’s the whole Jobs has tunnel vision with OSX purple button thing.
