I am pretty sure it is basically like the G1, except you can only access the
DPAD when the screen is open instead of it being on the front.  So opening
the screen would rotate it unless an application has explicitly forced an
orientation, and the platform should rotate the DPAD key events for you
based on the current orientation like it does for the trackball on other
devices.
