  I've played with it several times and noticed that it was only available in one direction.
  

  
  

  
  
  You can when you're in Safari, but, inexplicably, that's the only app Apple saw fit to enable landscape mode for the keyboard.
  
  
  
  Hopefully this will be addressed in a software update, at some point.

  ...possibly when 3rd party apps allow someone else to fix it.

  Wow, it seems obvious to me that it would be easier to type if the keypad was in landscape mode. I hope that this is fixed like you suggest in a future software update.
  
  
  
  Thanks for the response.

  Yeah, it's mystifying-- Safari, not much typing required, a lot to see on the screen: landscape keyboard. Messaging or note taking, all typing, not much to see on the screen: portrait only.
  
  
  
  I have no idea why Apple thinks that that's a good idea.
