While peeking I'd like to be able to interact with the media player, this is obvious a two handed operation but still I believe useful. Obviously the user has to peek enough before being able to interact with other covers, about half a screen worth sounds about right or even a full peek yet without releasing his/her finger

if you want to interact with the covers, why not just release and go back to the app you were in? Is the assumed speed improvement really worth the hassle? Does it even increase speed unless you're in a situation where you can use both hands? What about the cover actions that bring the app of that cover to the foreground?

I would like this as well. Not just because its a cool trick, it would be a nice use for the 5point multitouch that, until now, is unused.

Well when you release you always need to retap on the application, this way you just unpeek, kinda like shooting around a corner in fps games :P

There is already this idea posted here on TJC but I can't find this question... :D
