I don't know what "the back of the image" means, or what specifically you would do to "turn it around". This is handwaving, not a description of an actual implementable UI. I agree. It was just an additional interface idea that I had when thinking about tablets. It could be implemented with a finger flick on the corner of an image "turning it around" just like you would turn around a photo that is lying on the table and that has something written on the back. Of course this is an interaction type that has this far been left to Web applications and not something that browsers have tended to do. I was merely brainstorming. Cheers, Silvia.
