Your S60v3 device in landscape mode

Trudging through the posts yesterday I came accross this interesting app for S60v3. Currently unsigned and unreleased this app promises to allow simple switching between portrait and landscape mode while retaining full functionality.

Though unsigned it IS still possible to try and use as I found out. You can download the unsigned app from here and follow the application signing instructions found here.

Once you've done that the installation is simple and the result is really quite surprising. Not only does the app work but it works well. The advantages of a screen in landscape mode become apparent as web browsing becomes much more enjoyable and use of certain apps is improved.

I should point out though that as the app uses quite a lot of memory when in landscape mode there are certain apps that won't work - TomTom for example.

All in all though for those without the benefits of FP1 this is a good compromise. Hopefully a future release will resolve the memory issue.
