I had no problems with it on the Wizard. There was a reg edit to make to
get it to hear commands over BT, but I've long since forgotten that edit.

I understand. I use the update library function once in a blue moon, but
not every time I add media, since it takes a awhile to build the library,
and, as I said, I rarely use it without Voice Command.

I don't doubt it. I've read complaints that A2DP is very processor
intensive.

IIRC, you hold down (not just press) the home button, and a transparent
overlay pops up with iPod controls over the currently running application.
You can then tap the control to select the next track, and tap the home
button to hide the overlay.

(This is from my foggy memory- my wife, and her iPhone, are out of town on
business, so I can't test it for you.)
