One thing is that the gestures do not rotate, I like this and hope it stays that way. For example if you have the Camera app open in Landscape you close it by swipeing from top to bottom of the phone. which in landscape is a horizontal swipe.
Well, actually gestures should rotate together with the screen orientation. Gestures should be relative to the user and virtual part of the screen (top, bottom, left, right etc.), not to the physical part of the screen (narrow, wide etc.). I'd view any other implementation to be unnatural and non intuitive. I.e. you close application swiping vertically, from the top to the bottom. That's natural. And not "from one narrow edge to the other narrow edge" - that's not natural.
