My iPhone 3G (bear with me, my question is about Androids) connects to the USB jack on my cheapo Pioneer head unit. It charges the phone and plays the iPod (but obnoxiously locks the touchscreen controls and displays "ACCESSORY CONNECTED" screen). If I press the home button it brings up all my apps, and I can then run Pandora (or other audio apps) which then play thru the USB. On occasion it tends to glitch out and restart the iPod app (usually during highway driving - perhaps when switching towers?) starting with the first track (sorted alpha by songname) but for the most part it works.
Still with me? I wanna know, would an Android phone (such as the HTC Incredible) would do the same thing? Apple is making me jailbreak (an option I do not like) or buy a new phone to get multitasking (listening to Pandora but need to bring up the maps app) so I'm putting Android on the table too.
