This seems to be related to a bug I found on android issue database; http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=19268
The above bug is that when taking pictures with intent ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE, it saves the image in the location specified in Extras bundle but it also saves the image in the gallery.. It seems that as a side effect of this bug, the image that's saved in the user specifed location is missing the orientation information while the one in the gallery is saved properly. This makes for a messy user experience since they can only take pictures in the sideways orientation or they need to take the picture then select it from the gallery on these devices.. I opened another issue regarding this here; http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22822 Also I have started a stackOverflow ticket that got no response (despite the fact that I put up some delicious bounty on it).
