Pretty cool software this, it allows you to change between landscape and portrait mode, like the iphone. Bit of a gimmick I know but cool nevertheless!

I have found a few more on my travels (and links others have posted:)):

I will add more as they are found/released.

Does the N95 have some sort of moving part inside of it that knows when its been rotated? Cause i dont know how a program on its own can do it.

Ah right cool. Wonder why Nokia put it in in the first place. Seems like they had something planned like this.

It's already in there because it's used when taking photos. It automatically adjusts the orientation of the final photo in the gallery depending on how you were holding the camera when you took the picture. It's a small touch that hardly anyone ever notices. :)

But it already does it when you move the slider.....

Yeah but that's a switch as opposed to detecting how you're holding the phone. If you're browsing the internet and want to switch to landscape, you currently have to either open the multimedia keys or go Options, Rotate. It'll be so much simpler to just turn the phone!

True, and after looking at the demo, I want one ! NOW !!! :D

So I made a donation of 0.01 euro :D
 
Installed this this morning, and its quite fun. The girls in the flat were especially impressed, they wouldn't stop playing with it lol.

I like it mostly because its a bit like having a spirit level on you at all times, quite handy :p.
