This is live for ages. I think they just started PR around this because it can now not die on iOS 7, running in background.
As a side note, try out Leap Motion playback controls on GS (in Settings > Subscription, wtf), they're super sweet. I just wave my hands around to control music, it's awesome!
they must've optimized it some more since I've last tried. it runs very snappily on the Nexus 4, as fast as a native app for the most part, and that hasn't been the case last time I tried it. well done.
Yeah. I don't use the HTML5 player much because it doesn't support broadcasts, which are the main feature I rely on, and it seems to be a bit unreliable on Android in general - it's still neat thoug.
