Same here...

I should just say that I have myself found dozens of reasons to complain about Android, but they are comparable to what Maemo or iOS users complain about as well, so I have come to accept that this is just the state of mobile OSes today.

...
Open default browser on my HTC Desire, click a link to a podcast. It starts playing the podcast as an overlay to that page (which I later found out was an mp3 file), and I listed to it for about 20 mins. Click on the menu button to open a new window so I could continue browsing while listening to the podcast. Playback stops, the overlay closes and loses track of where it was...

Of course it should stop. What if you decided to open another podcast in the new window? Should they play concurrently? What if your phone rang and you answer, should the podcast continue?

I agree that the user should be provided with an option -- but that goes against the rеtarded philosophy of a podcast to begin with.
