The sort of "out of the box" thinking I like to see. :) ejg2, that’s certainly one of the most interesting ideas I’ve heard on the subject. The sort of “out of the box” thinking I like to see. :)

It wouldn't really be possible to hit that button with your thumb tip. Does that make sense to anyone? Rather than speculate, let's just say that almighty Steve knows what we want, and what we don't need. Kool-Aid anyone? It's Apple flavored.

Before a keynote, Apple obsesses over every pixel. So it's safe to assume that the "empty spot" on the icon grid is intentional. So if you ask why there's an empty slot, the first answer that comes to my mind is: so that you can add a widget/program of your own choosing. That's what it communicates to me. A full grid is complete, a full grid doesn't suggest that you add to it or subtract from it. Perhaps I've overthought this, but looking at the 3x3 jPhone grid--which looks like a template version of the iPhone interface--makes this point especially obvious.
