Hi Cara, re the three finger swipe while in landscape mode, on my 4s when I swipe to the left the calendar moves back in time. When I swipe to the right the dates move forward. This appears to work like flipping the pages of a datebook which makes sense to me. Are you getting different behavior?
And thanks for the detailed explanation of the calendar. It helped a lot. I'm still using both VO calendar and the native app, but I am more comfortable with the native app now.
