Currently if you press home enough, you'll leave the app and probably go to the home screen. That's not friendly.
My idea for default behaviour would be the soft back: Takes you back through the app you're using, but won't leave the app. If you press back when you're as far back in the app as possible, you'd get a notification (vibration, LED flash, beep). Press back one more time (or twice) and you'd leave the app to whatever app you were on earlier.
Or simply disable backing out of an app and let the user press Home to return to the home screen, or hold down Home to bring up the multitasking menu.

Don't flash, blink buzz or beep at me when nothing is wrong. Grr.
Perhaps, but when you try to scroll past the end of a list in Android (at least in the ROM I'm using) you get a bounce and a horizontal line indicating that you're at the end of a list and can go no further. That's more what I had in mind.
