Actually most cameras only have three of the four orientations supported, so if you're like me and sometime have the camera upside down the orientation is a bit random. I usually do this when I'm holding it very close to the ground as it seems more natural to me - trying to have the camera "the right way up" with the shutter button on top makes it very hard to actually take photos.

So: if there is an orientation sensor, please make it sense all four orientation, not just the ones you think people should be allowed to use.

The remote control page turner to me says "turning the page without taking my hand out from under the covers"... I stay warmer! I like the sound of that feature. You could even do it via the headphone jack - there's three contacts so two buttons on a wee lead would do nicely, and that would make the headphone jack useful to those who don't want an oversize mp3 player. Sucks if you listen to music while reading though.
