Portrait or Landscape?

Don't know if there has been a poll like this yet, but it has at least not been recently.

Personally I like landscape, but some programs won't work and it's a little bit of a pain to switch all the time.

would be nice if there was a shortcut key like there is for the screen brightness....

Use portrait 98% of the time. Landscape mode just doesn't look as good with the screen making my eyes feel wierd and having to hold it a certain way so the image doesn't ghost.

Landscape unless there's a program that needs a Portrait view to run. Either way its really nice to have the option.

Remap one of your hardware buttons in Settings
