Re: iPhone: question about orientation
Okay, that's what I am doing right now. Only in one circumstance will my app
require the device to change orientation for it to look correct so I guess
that's not too terribly bad.

Re: iPhone: question about orientation
If you use autorotation you guarantee that your own app's rotation
follows the same patterns of the system apps and thereby what the user
is used to and expects. While a flat phone is by nature ambiguous from
an interface orientation perspective, following the system's lead is
the best path here.

Wouldn't autorotation fall into the same category of problem? Should I also
look into device rotation in tandem with orientation just in case
orientation fails?

Re: iPhone: question about orientation
UIViewcontroller with autorotation is the best way to do this. Then
you don't need to deal with UIDevice orientations.
