Odd question, but does anybody know if it's possible to track the # of times the "Home" button on an iOS device is clicked? As probably one of the single most used "buttons" on the planet on any given day, it would be interesting (well, to me at least) to see just how many times on average that I hit that darn thing....

Of course it's possible. Carry a small piece of paper with you for a day and every time you press the home button, place a mark on the paper. I suggest using little vertical lines and every fifth line make a slash through four of them so at the end of the day you can easily count by groups of five.

Home Button ? If you're pressing it, you're holding it wrong.

Oh, wait, nevermind.
