You can also pick from your favorites or your recently played public stations. You can even share with your friends iTunes and Radio links to a station stream using your iPad Mail application. And you can also post your favorite links directly to Twitter or Facebook.

Full multi-tasking with background audio: Public Radio keeps playing after you tap the home button. You can go surf the web or use Facebook or Twitter or send and E-mail and the music won't stop.

Double-tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking UI and slide over the remote controls to pause/resume playing. In addition, you can lock the device, bring up the remote controls on the lock screen and pause/resume playing. It will also show the "playing audio" icon besides the power icon, when audio is playing. And it responds to pause/resume from external microphones as well.

These features are available only on multitasking capable devices with iOS4.
