It's been possible to stream Podcasts in the iTunes store in the background (i.e., closing down the window and using the phone), at least on 2.2.
The screenshot in that link shows quicktime and it looks very much like the podcasts you stream in iTunes, so really, not anything drastically new.

Background streaming via HTTP has been supported for a while now. To stream NPR, add this bookmark to your home screen:

This is fantastic! I've wanted to do this often and have always forgotten that the stream would stop as soon as I wanted to do anything else while listening. It's not perfect but it'll definitely work. Yay!
same. would be even better if they allowed the pandora app to play in the background, but even the website would be good.
