This worries me. The Camera button on my n95 was the first to lose all the solvering from overuse. Make it do for something else and I might wear it out altogether!

It's accessible as button via Hal: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_cam_shutter
The camera button is also exposed via Hal: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_cam_focus (for pressing it just lightly) and /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_cam_launch (for pressing it normally). You can get the events via D-Bus on the system bus. HTH.

If touchscreens were superior, we'd have seen full touchscreen laptops and computers already, the lack of which shows it isn't good enough (or in my case, tactile enough).
I've seen man microwaves with "touch" buttons with no tactile feedback, and they can be frustrating, while most ovens I've seen still use knobs etc. Switches and buttons just feel more solid.

For instance, while browsing, I don't always need/want to have the keyboard out. Reading ebooks/pdf, etc is another case.
It'd be much easier to hit the camera button rather than slide out the keyboard, press a key combo, slide keyboard back in.
