And maybe I'm hard to please, but it seems to me this sort of app-switching works much better with a dedicated hardware button rather than holding down an flush/touch button key.

Still, definitely an improvement from Gingerbread app-switching functionality.
With the new phones built with android 4.0 in mind you now have a dedicated button for app switching. The buttons are home, back, and app switching. When in an app you also see the settings button. None of the buttons have a double feature, like the previous home button.

Any word on this? Sounded promising that someone was looking into it but nothing since?

How hard/easy would it be to port over to Photon cm10?
