Surprised By Good Design

It's nice to be surprised by good software design. For example, my Windows Mobile phone rang today while I was listening to music.  Upon answering the call, Media Player paused playback.  After I hung up, it resumed playback.

Seems simple, yes, but I know I would have never thought of that.  If I had designed a phone operating system, your BradMobile phone would just keep playing Hannah Montana full blast while you tried to talk to your wife.
 
I guess the fact that good design surprises me would be a topic for another day.  But that's a bit too pessimistic for a Friday.
