You can easily rotate the screen in whatever direction (flip, horizontal, vertical) in system prefs. It would be cool if they used the built in motion sensor the automatically rotate the screen:-)

but artists would try to change the angle theyre drawing and it would rotate...

[toddp73]

true, but it'd still be a neat option. I have a program installed on my Macbook Pro right now that does that, although it doesn't do me any good its still fun!

is this better then the cintiq?

[bugQ]

It is if you want Mac OS X.

Oops, I'm stupid. Didn't know the Cintiq runs it, too.

Yeah, I think that third one was displaying a demo of a handwriting recognition application. I think that it was displayed in portrait mode.

Okay wait, on their third modbook, the computer was rotated vertically... and it looks like they were able to rotate the actual screen to portrait, too!! Is that what you saw when you recorded it?
