At the Genius Bar on Saturday (free out-of-warranty repair, to boot) the chick who was doing the sign-in on an iPad used the orientation lock about four times while she checked in the lady ahead of me and myself. I'd say that an orientation-aware app used on a public floor would be extremely needy for this sort of hardware lock. It's not typical usage, however.
