Wouldn't it be nice to turn your pocket computer into landscape mode with just a button in the corner or something?

This was suggested here (and also here).

The trouble is that the pocket computer's dimensions are 26 horizontally by 20 vertically so rotating it would actually mean it is thinner when it is horizontal (this is because CC's pixels are 12x18).

To quote Dan about the Pocket Computer's size/screen resolution.
It's not on purpose. The size of computer and turtle screens were chosen to make the most of a default-sized minecraft window. The size of pocket computer was chosen because I wanted a portrait aspect ratio. The size of monitors is calculated based on the size of the monitor in blocks, and a default text size I thought looked nice.
