Can iPod Touch be rotated so that the "Home" button is on the top or on the right or the left, or just so that it is on the right?

Just a passing thought...

Thanks In Advance
 
I don't think it can be rotated upside down (home button on top). But I believe it can be rotated for left and right hand usage. But I believe movies only play in the right hand usage zone (home button on the right side), unless it can be changed in settings.
 
it depends on what you are doing...

home screen dosent rotate

web rotates so the home button is either on the bottom or in your right hand, EDIT: or left, thanks Ninden

pictures rotate any direction

videos are home button right hand ONLY

music can be roated on its side for coverflow, either side, but not upside down

Web can rotate so the home is in your left hand too.
I did not know that pictures could rotate upside down though, that's cool :D
 
the accelarometer is a 3 axis one, meaning the home button can be on the left, right and bottom from the users view. Meaning, no it cant be up side down.

that's what I thought at first too, but photos canbe rotated completely upside-down. does anyone know why they say 3-axis instead of 4-axis... what does 3-axis mean?
 
3 axis means that it registers up and down left and right and forwards and backwards.

Those are the three dimensions, so if it were a 4 axis it would time travel :)

I bought some AAPL:apple: options last week - can we now go back to the time where AAPL:apple: was $200/share? That would be great!!!
