It no longer crashes on 4.0 but there are no new 4.0 specific features that I have noticed. Not surprising though for that app.

It works in iOS 4 and it picks up where you left off, seems pretty compatible to me.

Then its going to be no different UI wise under OS 4, since that's what multitasking will mean for most apps. Being able to suspend its current state and pick back up at the same spot when it resumes.
edit: saw the the thread in the other forum, your right it probably doesn't make use of it considering the load times.

Not any 3.0 app could save its state, and the ones that could didn't do it in the same way as 4.0 apps do. Developers could previously write their own save state code but the new 4.0 APIs standardize and simplify that so any app can save it's state when closed.
Exactly. A developer could technically save it's state, but it was completely half-assed.
I listen to O&A every day too! I jailbroke my 3GS so I can listen to them and do other things, so I hope the SiriusXM app does get updated, but I am not sure that it will right away. It doesn't look like they put alot of time into their app. Sometimes I have account error messages, it just pisses me off
iCollect Movies had an update a few days back that added iOS4 compatibility. So at least one of my apps will be iOS 4 ready tomorrow 
It wasn't really half-assed. They just added a few api to make it easier. I really don't see it making a huge difference except they probably will bring more attention to the issue. That may get a lot more apps to update with support. But technically it was not that difficult for most apps in 3.x. Depending on the type of app it can still be difficult no matter which api a developer supports. For something like Facebook, it was simple to save state (they just saved the page you were viewing) to begin with.
Yeah I agree I am not expecting it immediately. The acct error messages are VERY frustrating. But I love the show.
Tune-In Radio now plays in the background on iOS4
You beat me to the report. I can confirm however. Tune-In Radio now works seamlessly with the background music player api.
Awesome. I think that's the first example of a background audio capable app. I think I might buy it so I can listen to the news on public radio in the background (I wonder how long until the NPR app supports that).
Just tried it out and it's awesome! Works as advertised. I'm listening to Houston NPR over wifi while reading my email and it's awesome. I like that I can rewind and pause and record like a DVR. I also like the fact that I can listen to more than just NPR, which definitely makes it worth it even if NPR eventually released a background audio capable app.
What makes it even better is I can double tap the home button and then slide the app list to the left and use the iPod controls to pause my radiostream and it keeps loading the stream so when I resume, I didn't miss anything.

That doesn't matter, it still won't functin properly. I can't tell how many times I have used it and I still have the same crappy service!
Yup. PocketCAS Pro got updated...they said it was 'optimized for iOS 4' but no word on multitasking which probably means no.
