I must be in the vast minority. What do you miss about landscape, and what advantages would it give?
Mostly ergonomic for me. I much prefer to use my device two handed. In portrait mode, the "reach" is sometimes cumbersome to the top of the screen even with a 4" display. Luckily, most typing apps, browser and some games already support landscape mode. However, I think that a landscape mode home / tile screen option would be most welcome.
PS: Just because one might "just get used to something" does not mean that it is right or optimal. Some folks live near train tracks or busy roads. Eventually, they learn to tune it out...... still OK??
