Why can't the home button be used to answer calls on the iPhone?

In bright sunlight, or when I'm in a hurry, this would be extremely helpful! Currently, when the phone rings, pressing the home button has no action associated with it. So it's available!

That would be handy.

Well, that's the way it is. The home button does not answer calls on the iPhone. Maybe one day it will, but until then.....

Why not just get a Android phone. Problem solved.

It's just one of the differences between platforms. I never even thought about that. I don't have issues answering the phone in sunlight or darkness. I know where the button is to answer, even if I can't see it. You'll get used to it after a while. When I used my Wife's Android months ago, the back button confused me. LOL

Hi, I'm a handicapped person I need to use the home button to answer calls on my iphone 4. Does anybody know an app which can do that? I hope you can help me. Thanks.
