Ars Technica has an interesting article on why the Home button won't
disappear for now:

I was thinking about that as well actually. The only way I can see it
working is if your fumb is at the bottom of the screen and your other
4 fingers are at the top. Even then, it doesn't sound overly smooth.
I do like the idea of controling multitasking using jestures though; I
always thought that the app switcher could have been a bit better ad
that it could load a bit faster come to think of it.

I don't think this will effect VO accessibility much. They can simply turn
it from triple press of home, to triple press of sleep/power button. As far
as the iPhone is concerned, I'm more worried about these 4 and 5 finger
gestures they're reportedly thinking about. It wouldn't be any trouble on a
iPad with all that screen real estate but, on an iPhone? I couldn't imagine
many adults being able to do a 5 finger pinch gesture with comfort. The
screen is just too small.

Saw this story and thought I'd pass it along. This could spell trouble for
some of the accessibility features on the iPhone, for example,
triple-clicking the home button to toggle VO on and off.
