Press Pause

I had loaded the iPad with some movies and some of my Dad's favourite TV shows (Rumpole) but he said he didn't have time to watch them all. I said I usually watch about 20 minutes of a show before bed and continue off, the following night.

My dad was surprised to learn that it wasn't necessary to watch a movie all the way through in one sitting. He wasn't aware that you could pause the movie, go off and do something else and then come back and continue watching it at a later time.

Perhaps the movie player controls should appear briefly at the start and then fade away, as a reminder that they're there...
