I agree wholeheartedly. omnewrotate was only a way to do "rotation" better than the alternatives, but such use of accelerometers is too shallow. IMHO it's better that the position is declared as sets of angles and that "portrait", et all be "aliases" for certan sets of angles within a certain tolerance, that certain listening apps would only pay attention to. This way, perhaps, one could mix flexibility with ease?
