Hi guys, thanks for keeping the feedback coming.
I've narrowed down the "only works once until you force closed"/"service not started" issue on 2.1 and later phones. I'll push it out later tonight or tomorrow when I fix a few other items. (I was taking for granted in a lot of places that a BB app just exits the VM when done, so I had a bit more cleanup to do).
I've also fixed the phone call thing (dual playback).
Video is coming, I actually haven't messed with that at all (even tested it).

The data is (read: should be) 100% compatible, but the two default to storing it in different places (there's no /Blackberry on an android device). So as long as you switch storage folders to the right place it should 'just work' on restore. I haven't actually tested that yet, but I don't see why it wouldn't. I recommend *not* installing 2.9.2 on the BB, since that would make your backups be the same filename, so it would overwrite it. Let me know how it goes.

It doesn't have to be anything fancy, but a simple play/pause button, time played/total time, as well as display of the artist/title would be great. I know you can come up with something waaaay more useful/functional, but it's a start.
This will be coming, but likely not for a while. I've got a lot more to get stable first, then I'll start on the OS-specific stuff for both platforms. I really need to make it more touch friendly altogether, so that'll be next (global icons at the bottom for things like playlists, downloads, etc).

Yeah, I'm not 100% sure the best way to handle that stuff yet is. I'll definitely be looking for a solution, though, since I don't think you can even pause it right now when it doesn't have focus, which is a huge issue.
Let me know what else you guys find.
