I'm not sure how long this has been around; I'm expecting since 1.1.2 released. If your iPhone locks (sleeps) when it's inside of any application, you can quickly return to the home screen without extra button pushes:
A quick poll of my two iPhone-owning coworkers think it's a bug, but it's a slightly useful one.
- Lock your phone while in an app, like the iPod.
- Press the Home button to wake it.
- Immediately swipe to unlock. Speed is key; usually the swipe has to be started before the screen lights up.
- When the iPhone unlocks, the iPhone returns to Home screen instead of the iPod. (Some apps seem to be tougher to do this with than others.)
