I am right-handed, and there are many times when I would rather rotate the same way you propose... Specifically for playing games, since most games controls (at least in my day) had the directional pad on the left side, I'd prefer to have the trackball on the left side. Developers can handle this in their own applications, but as far as the entire system goes... this would have to be built into the core framework. I think a lot of this is largely due to the fact that slide- out keyboards, such as on the G1, generally open in the direction where the current rotation is correct.
