How will dialogs work in portrait? The big OK button on the right-hand side will take up even more room in portrait, so do they automatically move to the bottom of the dialog or similar?
Like Quim says, "Portrait mode will be supported at a platform level in Fremantle, in addition to the usual and default landscape mode. Note that this doesn't mean that all applications will have portrait mode automatically."

Landscape is the default mode, as previously. Applications can provide portrait mode, if it is necessary. Dialogs do look different in portrait, as far as I remember.
