Yeah. I wonder if a more general function to tell whether a mobile device is being used would be useful as well.

We might not be talking about the same status bar though. I am talking about the one that contains the virtual navigation buttons, the notification area, clock, etc, which is good to have visible at all times. It's probably different on iOS though.
I guess it could be made optional.
The status bar on iOS is the stuff at the top of this screenshot - most games hide it (and there are no system-wide virtual navigation buttons on iOS, only hardware buttons and system-wide multitouch gestures.)

There's no system-wide virtual or hardware back button on iOS.

Fair enough, but it's an easy way to save some CPU usage.

mp3 isn't proprietary, but it is patent-encumbered (if you care about the patent trolls who own that stuff.) AAC doesn't have those issues.
