It replaced mine!
The only problem I have is the same one that you are having. I listen to podcasts to and from work, and what I'm having to do is just remember that I left off at 36min for when I get back in the truck in the afternoon.

I'm also using the softpoweroff hack and in order for that to work correctly, I find that all applications have to be closed or for some reason the touchscreen stays active and when I hit the power button to turn it on there are all kinds of things open. So as you see, I can't just pause it and come back to it later. The app has to be closed to go into softpoweroff.
