I agree it have limited use for everything else, but I think things will be different for iPad. I think this could be part of the reason they opted not for widescreen on it.

1 lie down.
2. the iphone will turn the text to the wrong orientation.
3. turn the iphone an extra 90 degrees (so that the speaker is on the bottom)
4. the iphone will keep the orientation as it is and you will be able to read the text in landscape – whilst lying in bed…

the sad thing – i don´t think the ipad will do (as you can flip over the ipad to show an image to the person sitting across from you) but it works for the iphone…

And except games, pictures and video, I don't know any app that benefits from landscape mode.
