According Microsoft’s “Media Experience Evangelist” Michael Scherotter who spoke at Sprint’s Developers Conference yesterday in Santa Clara, the Windows Phone 7 version Pandora will supposedly support multi-tasking and allow music to be played in the background similar to the built-in Zune player  UPDATE: You got to love half-assed journalism…Michael Scherotter just commented on the articke saying that only the Zune Player can Multi-Task.. He latter said that other third-party application will also be able the multi-task but didn’t give any more information.

If this turns out to be true I would expect the Spotify application to also be multi-tasking enabled when it launches. I’m guessing that Microsoft will follow in Apple’s footsteps and allow only certain type of applications to have this features in a future OS update next year.
