Thanks MAG. A system-wide widget is a very interesting idea, and certainly would solve the problem of different apps presenting the setting to the user in different ways.

I worry slightly that a system-wide widget may not allow users to control rotation on a per-app basis. For example, maybe a particular app technically supports two different orientations, but the user prefers to lock that app into one orientation. In my case, I like to lock the Phone app into portrait (as that is how I like to hold the phone when using that app, and find the time it takes to rotate annoying if I accidentally change how I hold the phone), but I like to lock Microb into landscape (as I dislike the reduced functionality in portrait mode, and again, dislike it when it rotates accidentally).

Have you got plans to help in that kind of situation? Does the widget have an API that application developers can hook into?
