Hi Paddy, The DeviceOrientation spec is concerned with exposing the physical orientation of the hosting device in space. It does not provide the orientation relative to the device of content displayed on the screen, but this is available through the existing window.onorientationchange and window.orientation properties. You're right that in order to implement a compass app, you might need both pieces of information. I'm not sure I understand your comments about the values provided by iOS5, but it sounds like you're suggesting that they do not follow the spec? Can you clarify? Please let me know if you have any suggestions for how the wording of the DeviceOrientation spec could be clarified to avoid confusion. Steve
