I thought that all Android devices also had a physical "Home" button? My HTC Desire has one and I have seen multiple mentions of the physical "Home" button on Android forums.
Anyway, I have had a chance to see it's usefulness on some of the early CoolReader 3 for Android releases. Some of those early versions of CoolReader would hang on opening a book, and the touch screen controls would become unresponsive. I just had to tap the physical "Home" button to get back the central window and then use Advanced Task Manager to kill the runaway CoolReader 3 application.
