Left Handed flip?
 
I apologize if someone already posted about this, but shortly before I ordered my tablet, the news that made me make up my mind was that someone at maemo or elsewhere had been working on a way to be able to flip the screen to make it easier for left handers to use - i.e. you rotate the tablet 180 degrees so that the buttons are underneath your "free" thumb. Has anyone heard any updates about this? It's been a few (5) months since my tablet arrived, and my left hand is starting to feel like it's doing all of the work in this relationship, hehe.

thanks for any information.

im left handed and at first i was hoping that it could be rotated but after using it for about a month, i realized that it was better suited just the way it is. if the buttons were on the right and your right hand holding the unit, i realize that it could be kind of ackward to navigate using the buttons and holding at the samde time.
