Plezo's PM-220 PMP takes screen rotation to new heights

We've got nothing personal against screen rotation, even the automatic variety has its time and place, but unfortunately for Plezo, our imagination is limited to about 90 degrees of this gimmicky stuff. Plezo's PM-220 shatters modern rotation convention by going for a full 360 degrees, allowing you to watch your screen in whatever funky screen configuration your heart desires. We suppose the extra flexibility could help out south paws and the like, but other limitations like a 2.2-inch screen and 1GB of flash memory aren't helping Plezo's case of using this thing as a video player. The dual headphone jacks, FM radio, voice recording and games are all nice touches, but we're pretty sure there are better ways to spend 109,000 won (about $117) in the great land of South Korea.

Even my Creative Zen V Plus has the function to rotate the whole GUI to four degrees.

Just make it a PC. Why must people create platform after platform after platform? I though we had a GNU.... ooohhhhh. I guess a processor instruction set would have to be under the BSD license, wouldn't it?

But yeah. All I want is a Linux PC. This could make a neat wireless peripheral set, but I wouldn't even consider purchasing an additional processor when I already have a quite fine P4. Or RAM. Maybe a screen. But yeah, people are slow sometimes.

Drat! This foils my evil plan to make all downloaded video to be watched on South Korean mp3 players upside down!

I wonder if the forward backward buttons switch when it is upside down. Then it really might be nice for lefties.

360 degrees? Back to high school math I'm afraid. 360 degrees would mean no difference in
orientation. The picture shows 180 degrees. Or do you mean when you see 'full 360' that you can
rotate to 42 or 112 or 81 or 33 degrees? That would require massive GPU video skewing effort, so
I doubt that very much.

4 degrees ? you must mean 4 directions or something !
