The tablet is
supposed to switch between portrait and landscape mode when you change the orientation of the device. Does it do that for other things?
My A727 developed an issue where it no longer auto-rotated. This appears to be a failure in the sensor hardware that detects what orientation the device is in. It was not a disaster for me because I found an app tnhat will let me force a desired orientation by app. My eBook viewer, for example, I always want in portrait mode, but the spreadsheet app should always be landscape. I don't do a lot of image viewing, so that's not a concern.
I subsequently got an Azpen A741, which is the same form factor as the A727, but has a quad core processor and 8GB of flash, alone with a high res 1024x600 screen. Retail price was $50, and I had a $20 off coupon from MicroCenter. Thus far, it's mostly behaving. The main quirks are a tendency to drop Wifi, and a tendency to reboot for no reason I can track down. (It does not do so while in an application, but if turned off while sitting at the launcher screen and left for a while, it may reboot when trying to turn it back on.
