I was browsing the UK site, jealous of them getting white G1's and I saw a picture and caption that alludes to the use of the accelerometer to switch from portrait to landscape


Here is the link: - (bottom left)

It shows the amazon store auto-rotating without the keyboard up.
I cant even 'flip orientation' in Amazon MP3 like I can in other apps,
so how is it doing this?

Can anyone confirm this?...or debunk it as a marketing scheme?...

i think its rubbish
the text makes more sence

Slide-open screen shifts between portrait and landscape to match phone position.

also you don't even have amazon mp3 store in the UK.

i kept reading the text and it totally made sense... but the picture threw me for a loop

At least we can manually flip orientation in browser but use of the accelerometer will help

i'm not worried about a 2GB card -- I think I threw my 1GB out...anything under 4 is pretty much useless. ESPECIALLY given the price of 4's and 8's
