Well, I read on the Android blog the most recent post saying:
-------
Technique to Avoid, #5: Incautious Rotations
...
Devices running Android 1.5 and later can automatically rotate the
screen, depending on how the user orients the device. Some 1.5 devices
will do this by default, and on all others it can be turned on by the
user....
---------
does the orientation simply refer to portrait and landscape modes? Or
are they the things that I've been seeking clarifications?

thanks
