The theory is that if the showee is in front of you, you flip the device toward him about its x-axis, so it is landscape but upside-down and back to you.
. Certainly a dance worth practising if necessary.

Personally, I think it's pretty groovy, but I agree an option to turn it off would be handy.

Still, there are other apps one can use to show a jpeg; MicroB springs immediately to mind.

I cant agree more, just a button to disable auto-rotation would have been great !!

nokia always thinks in "one size fits all" categories and will never learn that people need a "preferences" dialogue in applications so they can toggle such things on/off.
btw, there's a brainstorm somewhere about making the n900 a better image viewer. one solution there proposes to use a full-blown desktop image viewer. i'm still waiting for gifted coders to port one.

i discoverede this a while ago, and then i also discovered that browsing photos in fullscreen lags in any other screen orientation than the normal landscape one...
if not a on/off button, at least no lag...

I had to re-save the image in the opposite orientation to get my point across. Duh...

Natural body movements and interaction are not so well defined on the axis of which the device understands. Rotating the device or a static image just makes more sense to me rather than conforming to a rotating image.

btw. who smartass from nokia thought that while zooming image it's good idea to let user change picture by swiping. Try to zoom image and scroll it horizontally so that it doesn't change to next/previous picture. Arghh.
