Origami Experience Doesn't Run In Portait Mode?

- Warner Crocker

This is interesting. Dr. Neil Roodyn, one of those prolific Down Under Tableteers, has discovered that the Origami Experience doesn’t run in portrait mode and wonders if that will change in the future.

Now considering Microsoft has been telling developers to build applications that work well in all resolutions and scale functionality accordingly this is an appalling oversight. The Tablet PC and the UMPC ability to switch between landscape and portrait easily is an important function for me.

He’s not the only one.

I have done a few things for UMPC and it´s just impossible or very hard to have everything working in both ways being the portrait mode so narrow. It just does not fit everything in the horizontal.

When you are developing for Tablet PC is a whole different story but the maximum of 600 pixels available in UMPCs is just not enough.
