10. Built-in accelerometer -- when you rotate the Nokia N900 into portrait mode, the phone application automatically launches, so you have quick access to make your phone calls. This will also rotate the entire user interface, so you could simply close the phone application and then browse your Google Reader in portrait mode, for instance (something I’ll be doing regularly).


Is this true? This means that everything will be rotated if you quit the phone application (and keep the tablet vertical)?

Unfortunately the article is incorrect on points 3 and 9. MicroB and Modest are still MicroB and Modest in Fremantle.

No, I don't believe it's true. I'm fairly certain it only happens from the desktop.

Rotation support is X window property. Has window level granularity.
