Does the wallpaper/background spin around (and the app icons re-orient themselves) on the iPad? I honestly had no idea. I just thought you used the thing horizontally when it made sense, while in a particular app (movies, etc.). But are you saying the
home screen itself (the icons, the top time/WiFi/battery status bar and Dock) all turn sideways (horizontally oriented), along with the wallpaper?
That would get aggravating. Do the icons realign themselves or "fold back" and and lay out differently, then? I think I kinda like the iPhone approach, where the home screen remains vertically oriented at all times, and you only turn the thing sideways when you're in an app that supports or requires it.
