This is remarkable and splendid, now the guy screen named: "Bratag" can complete his project that allows the G1 screen to flip in landscapeing mode without opening the keyboard!!

I have it downloaded and installed. I'll try it out first chance I get and see if I can shoot you of a review. I'm currently fiddling with other apps .
