iPhone does not show your song time like iPod does?

Why is it (or is there a fix for this) that my iPhone's iPod feature, when I'm playing a song, does not display for me the running duration of that song like the iPod does? I find it useful to know how much time is left on a track, like in a podcast, or a long music track, etc, while I'm listening. Instead, I just have a big waste of blank space on the screen there as songs are playing, which could be used for running track information or something.

Is there something I'm missing? Can I get this info on my screen like I have on my iPod?

Enjoying my new iPhone, otherwise...

Thanks,
L

Yes. That still does not achieve anything. Just flips the screen around to reveal the song list/titles, but still no play meter.

While holding the phone vertical tap "Now Playing", then tap on the screen right below the title information and the time line will appear.

That actually works anywhere you tap the album art?double tap will switch to the track list, single tap brings up the timeline.
