what have you mapped your 'home' button to?

in another thread i asked if anyone actually used the stupid 'home' program that comes with axims. it doesn't look like anyone does and it seems most, if not all, axim users remap this button to something more useful. it would seem obvious to me that this button should be reserved for a very important mapped program since it is the 'home' button after all. :) anyway, what have you mapped yours to?

i mapped my 'home' button to the windows xp style shutdown program. i realize you can just use your finger (not use the stylus) to hit the reset button on the side, but with the rhinoskin, it's hard to reach.

I prefer not to hit the reset button, due to threads I've read about the rubber grip spliting, therefore XP shutdown is in my start menu. Anyway, I mapped my home button to the today page and I use it to turn on my Axim.

I purchased Vito's buttonmapper on a wim and have found it very useful. I use my inbox button for the start menu and a tap & hold to close apps. Now that you mentioned it I can't remember the last time I used the home button, guess I will find a use for it now. Probably will be brightness, I access this frequently due tomy ever changing work environment.
Thanks!!!:D

I have my Home button mapped to the Today screen. (Play/Pause when in media player.)

If I need to do a soft or hard rest when the unit is responding, I use Handy Menu. If the Ax is locked up, I'll use the real buttons, but with my fingers, not the stylus.

it seems that's what alot of people do and it also seems to be the natural choice for a button labeled for 'home'. so guess what, i remapped mine to the today screen now too. i really like it. :D

I have InBox (button 3) set to Today, Home (button 4) set to Pocket IE, though I change it every once in a while, depending on what I do. I have been thinking about mapping it to Agenda Fusion Tasks lately...

I have remapped it to tasks since I frequently access my "to do" list.
