could the unlock screen be used in both landscape/portrait unlike now?

it'll be much easier to press the power button, swipe in portrait, then numerically enter lock code OR just enter a gesture (a la android) or something innovatetive and cool to then allow USING the phone functions directly.

This is 1 of the most imp things in my opinion because its a real pain to take phone outta pocket, fumble to unlock and then switch arnd to enter it in landscape and then be able to access the phone menu, hope it gets implemented screen because current way is not very convenient.
