IPad Interface Orientation Problem?

I'm not sure how well that is solvable. UIDeviceOrientationUnknown is 0. This means, especially for the iPad which hasn't got a gyroscope, that the orientation at this time is simply not know.

Imagine your iPad laying on a table, flat and the user is starting your application: there isn't any means to define that your application is actually running in landscape or portrait, unless you tilt the device accordingly. Hence.. the orientation at startup is always 0 (unknown).

You are casting a UIDeviceOrientation type to a UIInterfaceOrientation type. Device orientations have several different values beyond those of an interface orientation.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
