Help Lock Button ?

Is there such a widget/app that can place a button on the home screen to instantly lock the screen instead of pressing the power button.

The only one I could find takes 6 seconds beofre it locks.

TIA
 
maybe its just me but pressing a button on the screen and pressing the power button strike me as the same?

anyway try lockbot

I understand what you mean but.

I would find it easier to lock with a button on home while driving

And

I find that (maybe it just me) I sometimes accidently press an icon on the home screen while holding it ready to push the power button to lock.

Am i right that lockbot just controls the lock screen and does not give a different way of locking the phone.
 
I am using Lockenabler but it works after 6 seconds count down in Desire. It stated that Desire cannot change the default option for using less than 6 seconds to screen off. This may be some Sense restriction that this free ware cannot set this option.

so you're holding your phone in one hand whilst driving with the other?

have you thought about getting a car mount? relatively cheap, easy to fit and safe to use. then you can press as much as you like.
