Have to agree with some of sentiment about being able use a single hand, not everyone uses one hand but most do. So in it's present form it wouldn't work but if you could hold the home button for a short period (longer to activate speech commands) to activate it, this would work with one thumb.

This ain't neither user friendly nor something stylish. Anyway. When iOS 5 comes out; it will blow our minds.
