Why did apple decide to remove the force quit function? It comes in handy for me a lot. Which Apple Inc. higher-up decided to remove force quit? That was an INCREDIBLY stupid idea.

Well technically it wasn't removed just relocated into a different combination of steps to force quit. Either enough people complained about it or they have plans for holding down home button.

My guess is there will be a different function for holding the home button.

The new long hold of the home button will be used for voice control that is coming. ):

My source is from a website of a website of a website. But seriously I have read somehere that Apple was working on voicecontrol. And voicecontrol makes sense since they have it on a Mac and the iPhone is running on software that is the same as LeOpard OS. But interesting someone just pointed this out in the thread because I wrote several emails to Apple(not sure if they will read them) about having some kind of function for a long press of the home button. I would be happy if it was simply another shortcut like to the double click of the home button. My biggest beef is how far buried the On/Off switch is for Bluetooth in settings and asked them to move it right below the Wifi On/Off on the main settings page. Oh and adding a feature in iTunes like the iPhoto tab allows you to drag your albums in order but have the same functionlity for the apps. tab. My last request was in Safari a way to close all open pages at once. It is very annoying to have all these pages open because every time I click a link within an app. or website a new page opens. I seriously doubt any of this would happen but I would LOVE Bluetooth to not be so buried!

This makes sense, hold down home and say your voice command. It would be the easiest way to make a command from anywhere, in any app without having to exit the app. If this is true and implemented lets hope they have the voice recognition perfect so we don't end up yelling at our iphones

Would love to have voice dialing via the home button!
