Abstract
Some Android handsets, like the T-Mobile G1, offer a slide-out keyboard that triggers rotating the screen from portrait to landscape orientation. Other handsets might use accelerometers to determine screen rotation, as the iPhone does. As a result, it is reasonable to assume that switching from portrait to landscape orientation and back again may be something your users will want to do.
