A comment on IPhone auto-rotation: out of control.

Surely this solution is still going to fail the walking/train test -- the icon will be on the screen permanently in those situations.

The phone will detect movement, the icon will appear, it'll fade after a few seconds, the movement will be interpreted as the "shake to bring it back", it'll reappear, then fade, and repeat ad nauseum.

To solve this very problem, the idea of the "cross out" delete-like gesture is to disable it until it's really sure that it's been rotated back.
