Although I agree that in most instances the landscape mode is used for browsing I must confess that I've been looking forward to using Documents To Go Spreadsheet in landscape mode. With the present Fitaly for T3 setup if I use the spreadsheet in landscape mode I'm forced to use Graffiti 2 (because Preferences/Input is set to Wide) unless I switch back to portrait mode just so I could have keyboard access or switch the Preferences/Input to Keyboard. The only way a spreadsheet would benefit from a keyboard in landscape mode is if it can be hidden and pulled back into view when needed, otherwise the benefits of screen real estate are lost. Having said that I agree that it shouldn't be as high as other things in your To Do List.
