Even if true, this doesn't help the one hand scenario that seems to be common to all the use cases mentioned here.

It doesn't need to be pretty, it just needs to work.
That's the thing. Except bookmark/link based browsing and media player, most of the use cases mentioned here require a one hand input method that 'needs to work'. We are only saying that it is not trivial at all.

Applications supporting portrait mode welcome. Prototypes of portrait input methods welcome.
