I don't mean to be pretentious, but have you tried to turn-off the accelerometer to see if it's affecting the upside-down orientation? The reason I suggest this is because I have a Windows touchscreen tablet and every now and then the accelerometer causes things to go a bit crazy. At those times I shut-off the auto rotating function and the problem is temporarily solved.

Also, have you tried to upgrade the OS (assuming an upgrade is available) to see if some problems are fixed?

I'm taking your problem quite seriously since I have ordered the Eken M001 through an ebay auction and am expecting to have the same problem when it arrives.

One other question... I have read that the USB/dock port is identical to Apple's port on the ipod and ipad. If so, do you think the loose connection problem might be corrected by trying a different cable?

thanks for your posts.
