Josh,
That's the PhoneGap 1.7 docs you linked - when you look at the Cordova 3.2 docs
(http://docs.phonegap.com/en/3.2.0/cordova_camera_camera.md.html#cameraOptions),
it does not list _any_ issues with correctOrientation on Android or iOS. I
expect it not to work on Windows Phone because it's listed in the docs as being
a limitation, but not on Android or iOS.
I'm not a newb; I'm not asking because I'm too stupid to look in the documentation first.
I've written a book on PhoneGap as well as a book on Cordova 3.0, so I know how most of
this works and to look at the docs first. I'm hoping that I don't have to begin any
question with "I've already looked in the docs, but..."
I started with the documentation and all it says is:
"Rotate the image to correct for the orientation of the device during capture"
Not a very clear description of what actually happens. You're right though, I'm not really asking
what it's supopsed to do, but instead "does it work?" and if so, "Any idea why it
isn't working for me?"
I've written an application that takes a picture without the option defined and
with the option set to true as well as false and on Android or iOS devices; I
can't see any difference in the photos for all three options.
So, am I missing something and this just not supposed to work? Or is something
else biting me in the butt here?

Lists a bunch of platforms that don't implement it.
My guess is that some older platforms wouldn't automatically switch between
portrait and landscape orientations for photos.
