Accelerometer

[New World]

From what I have read and watched, the orientation does not switch unless it's either told to, with a long press, or if you're using an application that changes the orientation. The browser, as of now, does not.

You are correct, we'll put this information into the Wiki page that'll be up soon.

Plus, if you read the manual it states that some apps can be controlled manually.
