My Nokia N95 phone has six types of Exit buttons (to exit an application such as the addressbook or the calendar) they are:

1) Quit

2) Exit

3) Cancel

4) Back

5) Close

6) End

Sometimes the button becomes a No button also.

Only one is going to REALLY quit the application and save battery and processing power.

I think Interaction Design simply happens when you do a lot of Q&A right.

@duerentube seriously? They do it because if you don't then you have no way of knowing if you're creating interfaces that people can actually interact with. One of the reasons most websites suck.
