I think you're wrong... One change in 4.0 is the handling of dropped streams. Every other WM media player, including earlier versions of PocketPlayer, would attempt to resume a dropped stream for a bit, and then timeout. For me, the 'timeout' period has always been to short. On a jog or a bikeride, I continually had to take the player out of my pocket and tap play to get the stream going again. With the new version, PocketPlayer attempts to retrieve a dropped stream continuously, or until you press the stop button. That feature alone is worth the $10...
For those of us stuck in EDGE world with T-Mobile, the ability to access AAC+ streams is another 'worth the $10' addition. A 64k AAC+ stream sounds great, and is easily handled by EDGE connection speeds.
