Yes I used auto rotate the other day and it works great. So much easier to text now. I hated it before, especially with the charger plugged in.

I just did a quick video with the phone of malibu surf and uploaded to vimeo.

To activate the horizontal keyboard, simply double tap the text field while your phone is flipped horizontal. If you have the keyboard open when switching to this orientation it will close. Just double tap the text field again and it will open right back up.

@Alex:

I don’t know what you’re talking about. I was, more or less, behind you. I’m not from the UK. As a matter of fact, I called the guy form the UK a ‘tard.

Reading comprehension is an important skill.

@ Alex Rodz,

you’re wasting your time writing all that because no one is going to read it until you start punctuating your sentences. Just throw in a few full stops every now and then…

I really don’t believe that it’s appropriate for motorcyclists to be lecturing people about safety. Which jerkwad are you?

The idiot who goes 90 mph on the shoulder on your crotch rocket?

The dickhead on the faux Harley who insists on straddling two lanes?

And who wants to bet he hates helmet laws?

Rob, you are clearly a fucking retard. It doesn’t matter whether you think it should be illegal or not. If you know that texting is dangerous, than you shouldn’t be doing it. Car accidents kill thousands of people every day. The law shouldn’t have to be in place to stop you from endangering yourself and other people. As an intelligent human being you should be able to work that one out for yourself.

I really hoped that they would make it so that the home screen auto-rotated as well.

Idiot, you can justify to yourself how safe you think you are when you’re texting and driving all you like but at the end of the day, if you’re attention isn’t 100% on the task at hand, that is driving without due care and attention which is against the law (although probably called something else in the US). Why don’t you ask a policeman about it to see what their opinion is?

I ride a motorcycle and drive a car in the UK and I can tell you, you notice more idiots on the road when you ride a bike. Reading from paper at 70mph was a good one, I have seen a guy shaving at speed, I have seen people looking at laptops on their other seat. I am sure they had justified it to themselves to.

It is you that will have to live with the fact you have killed or seriously injured someone if you cause an accident through your utter stupidity. With a bit of luck you will only kill yourself and remove another knuckle head from the road endangering everyone else around them.

‘Understanding the danger is the first step in driving responsibly’, yes, by understanding it and not doing it anyway!

Saying you do it and know it is dangerous doesn’t make it any better, it probably makes it worse as you know you are endangering other’s lives by doing it at all. This is WILDLY irresponsible, not responsible behaviour as you claim.

You are the reason that manufacturers have to put messages on equipment they sell like “do not put drill in nostril”. ‘But I know it is dangerous, so I did it carefully and it ripped my face off anyway so I will sue you’.

I actually cannot believe how cretinous you are.

As for Alex Rodz, I am sure you will join the hallowed halls of the Darwin Award recipients before too long.

I’ll be unsubscribing my RSS from you guys, I don’t care for reading websites written by people as stupid as this.
