 Some web pages, pdf documents, and possibly some activities, work better
 in a portrait aspect ratio. I often don't fold the screen to ebook mode
 when rotating the display (if the task time is short) as the
 trackpad/cursor are still useful (holding the XO like an open book).
 However, it's very difficult to control the cursor with the screen
 rotated. Would be more useful if the cursor input could be corrected to
 compensate for the virtual screen orientation. Basically, I think the
 cursor position/movement should be staying un-rotated.
