Other interesting features include a song progress bar, cover-flow view for song history and the ability to share stations with friends using Email.

While this update isn’t anything revolutionary, it certainly adds features that round out out cool features in the app, like embedded iTunes purchasing.

However, there is something missing, according to an user: the ability to run this application in the background. Or do you think we don’t need it?

Updates and new features or Pandora for iPhone 1.1 include:

+ Stereo over WiFi – Pandora stations now play in high bitrate stereo when using Pandora over WiFi. This makes an iPod touch the perfect companion to your living room stereo. Just dock and play.

+ Station Resume – when you’re using Pandora and switch to another application, or take an incoming phone call, the music will resume right where you left off when you start Pandora back up. It’s not as good as background listening (which isn’t currently possible on the iPhone) but at least you won’t miss anything if you need to hop out to another app for a minute.

+ Search Auto-Complete – as you type an artist, song or composer in the station creation screen we will offer suggestions in real time as you go.

+ Station Sorting – view your stations either by the creation date or alphabetically.

+ On Phone Registration – users that are new to Pandora can now complete account registrations on the iPhone and iPod touch.

+ Settings Panel – swap your Pandora login without reinstalling the app.

I’m currently testing out this app–and it looks promising, folks–and will have a full review of it on Monday.
