All iPads Do you prefer portrait or landscape?

[tymaster50]

I like landscape

 

[ChristianVirtual]

Portrait for web and mail, other apps in landscape. Depend on the actual app.

 

[iBreatheApple]

Portrait please. 🙂
And to think, I was so upset with the lack of landscape texting in the original iPhone... I NEVER text in landscape.

 

[A Hebrew]

Landscape, unless reading a book.

 

[rgarjr]

portrait for both mini and the 4.

 

[SnowLeopard OSX]

Landscape for web browsing, watching videos, and playing games

Portrait for emails, Facebook, Twitter, photos, and e-reading.


If I had to pick one, though -- I'd say I use landscape a lot more than I do portrait.

 

[raccoonboy]

prefer them equally.

Find myself using the landscape more because of games.

 

[pigbrother]

Portrait only, I actually switched off autorotate. Except for games, but they switch to landscape on their own anyway. 🙂

 

[toille4]

Landscape for me 😀

 

[tymaster50]

A lot of apps are meant for landscape mode, it feels more like an iPad when I hold it sideways instead of in portrait mode. If I don't it just feels like an enlarged iPhone lol.

 

[Gunny011]

anything to do with reading or web - portrait
Watching a movie etc - landscape

 

[Apple fanboy]

Portrait for web browsing. Landscape for video. Games depends on which one and the controls etc.

 

[Snowy_River]

Landscape, almost exclusively. It's the full sized keyboard. I can't touch type on the keyboard in portrait orientation, whereas I can in landscape. I've never been a fan if thumb typing.

I also prefer reading in landscape. I like the look of an open book with two pages facing me.

Depends on the app.

Landscape for web surfing, movies, and some games.

Portrait for everything else.

 

[CoMoMacUser]

Landscape for everything. One reason is that the fonts are larger and thus easier to read.

 

[plucky duck]

Portait for 9.7" iPad, and landscape only for iPad mini.

 

[darngooddesign]

This depends on the iPad. Portrait browsing on the iPad 2 is nicer than portrait browsing on the Mini due to the type being very small on he latter.

 

[mgipe]

Portrait

 

[iNotion]

Landscape, most of the time

 

[Tom G.]

Mostly landscape.

 

[Alith]

Portrait. Split the keyboard in two and move it up an inch or two and it's great for two-thumb typing.
