I think implementing portriat in individual apps is NOT the way to go. This is already allowed, and part of the problem I see coming if it isn't core to the OS. The ENTIRE UI needs to rotate, not just certain apps.

Doesn't everyone understand this is the gripe people have about the N900 so far? By it choosing which orientation it needs, the N900 is thinking for the user, taking the choice away from the consumer, instead of presenting the option of two aspect orientations and allowing each user to decide which is best.

I suggest the rotation of individual apps be abandoned and the UI rotation be the focus. I know I'm just "the guy that whines about everything", but has anyone asked whether rotating apps or the entire UI is the best solution?
