Let's move the HOME button!

Do we really need that BIG black plastic HOME button at the front?

...why not place it in the top on the right side? That way we'll have much more screen to play with, and more entertainment in games or movies!

I also think it's more easy to hit that button in the top, rather than in the front!?

I have made this iPhone 3G version 3.0:

mmmmmm.... nah, i think the iphone's screen is fine just the way it is, and that pic looks pretty awkward.... i think id kinda rather like a scroll wheel where the home button is like on the blackberry or the g1. that would be pretty cool

Scroll wheel? Gawd I hope not.

Not to mention the extra battery juice required to power the extra screen real estate.

Agreed. That the last thing people need, a shorter lasting battery!

I like the bigger screen but I also like the home button where it is at right now. Placing it somewhere else will just make it more difficult to operate with a single hand. I'll take the home button on top though before I'd want one of those poorly designed unworkable scroll wheels though!

Sorry, this is a terrible idea. Fix what's on the inside before you think about moving the home button to an awkward space.
