My phone spends 80% of its time in landscape mode. Mail, Messages, Safari, Camera, Twitter and the half a dozen games I have are all better in landscape mode than portrait. If you see that list, 4 apps are by Apple itself. Not to mention any app that needs you to type is infinitely better in landscape mode. Only Calendar, Maps and Phone aren't there because Calendar doesn't have landscape mode, and Maps and Phone are better in portrait.
I wasn't trying to imply that Apple shouldn't redesign landscape mode home screen for the phone --- it was just an idle comment you make when you're thinking out loud. My point/request still holds. Having the option of a landscape mode home screen is much more useful than not. And that's precisely why there is a portrait mode lock available --- for people who don't want it.
