Again, more of the polarizing issue -- even though WM5 features screen rotation, it seems pretty obvious that Dell didn't see that multiple viewing angles was worth both the investment in money and battery usage to put in. The PSP on the other hand, is made to be used landscape. Comparing any active matrix display to passive matrix is unfair though, since passive matrix has poor contrast and refresh rate consistantly through the display, while most PDA displays are active matrix but are only polarized in one direction.
