Default Vue FLo and Screen Orientation

Might be jumping the gun a bit but does anyone else agree that HTC should have thought of some form of tool that controls screen orientation based on Vue Flo, most tablet PC's have this functionality so it would have been nice.

If this exists can someone point me in the right direction.

I thought it did sometimes, but it could just be my handset being random/changing orientation due to me knocking the keyboard when rotating it.

I want to see a game use the i2C sensor that provides the tilt sensing

This happened with the Mac remember? Turns out it was a standard part that had 3 axis!

I hope somebody can look into this for the Ameo(Athena) because the right driver could make it into a digital/Analogue controller for games on the device.

How about old school Marble madness in Mame with tilt control? hehe.

As long as there is an on/off for it. I could see myself changing orientation all the time by accident, and after a while, I bet it would become very frustrating. Well, for me, anyway.

I would love it if there was a hack that redirects the scroll ability to the regular scroll bars such that any application on the device with more than a screen-full data to show could use Vue Flo.
