dont go to apple unless you dont really want help. jailbreak it. http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=155875
then go to cydia and get the SBSettings app, it has a toggle for people with broken home button.

To jailbreak it, don't you need a Mac to do it?

You can "jailbreak" (which only means "free" or "unlock" )you iphone or ipod touch with either a pc or mac, as long as you have the Quick Freedom program.

Ah, thanks. I must have confused myself on the hacktheiphoneitouch.blogspot.com site. I saw one for the mac there. Must have missed the Win version. Thanks.
