might be the whole point of the now playing screen, but i too think it an odd thing that you can't do this in coverflow. makes coverflow pretty useless imo, i never use it, for this reason, you cant pause/move forward or backwards in the track list.
I agree this is VERY annoying. I lay my iPod flat and connect the charger/FM transmitter while I'm driving. If I accelerate too quickly it flips into coverflow and stays there until I pick it up and hold it vertically for a few seconds. I can't see my playlist or skip tracks till I do.
