Palm patents orientation-dependence for smartphone apps "Phonemaker Palm has recently filed for a patent that would enable apps to perform different functions depending on the orientation and placement of the smarpthone they're installed on. This could, for example, let users take a photo in an app when the handset is in a vertical position, be it portrait or landscape, while turning the device so it lays parallel to the ground would open the album so users can view their photos."
