I like the idea of using last.fm pictures for a now playing screen. Would it be possible to switch naturally between the controller app and the now playing app? By naturally, I mean for the controller to be up front, but just underneath the now playing app, which would be kind of like a screensave

Yeah, I remember those now-playing screens. There's something about the retro look and making our modern devices look like our old ones :-). I'm particuarly fond of the retro VU meters for the Touch. If my Revue was capable of running an SB player app, I think I would use it as such. People ha
