Anyone know how to get apps to be able to simply flip between portrait
and landscape mode on a h4150?

Unless there's something I missed, Nyditot is just can't cope with a
simple portrait/landscape switch (at least on a h4150). Instead I have
to create a 320x320 window and then I can flip between portrait and
landscape modes. Trouble is, that leaves bits of 'virtual desktop' out
of view which is not as neat and tidy as I would like.

Of course, I could always to a soft reset but that's usually really
inconvenient, especially when say I'm looking at something in
IExplorer where I'd have to go trough the whole procedure of logging
back on to the network and finding the page I wanted to see in
landscape mode.

Also noticed JS Landscape but that doesn't seem to work for Pocket PC
2003 yet and also seems to be more of a 'virtual' desktop than a
simple portrait/landscape switcher. Would I have the same 'virtual'
nonsense as before.

Any other choices around?

Or did I really miss something with Nyditot?

I'm not knocking Nyditot or virtual desktops in general. I can really
see where they'd come in handy but for me, they're just too much and I
don't need em. I just want instantly flip certain apps between
portrait and landscape mode and nothing more.
