The Home button is one of the most important ones to know (Wait! It's one of only three buttons on the device so it MUST be important...).  So what is it used for? Here are a few of its uses.

With a single touch of the button:

• Turn the device on when it is in standby/sleep mode
• Leave an app and return to the "home" screen the app is located on
• Return to the first screen with apps from any other screen (for when you have multiple screens of apps...)
• Access the search screen when on the first screen
• Access the first screen of apps when on the search screen

With a double-touch of the button:

• Bring up a list of all apps that are running (while checking that out, shut some of them down to conserve your battery!)
