    I like to lie down in bed and use it every night. I really wish Apple offered portrait lock for the Safari browser, but then again I might be in the minority.

    I wish there was a lock but I try to stop lieing down because I think it's bad for my eyes.

    Not really, I prefer to sit. If I'm laying on my back while playing a game, its just uncomfortable lol.

    Me too, thats one of the main reasons why i have jailbroken my iPhone. You´ll find an SBSettings Addon in Cydia, which allows you to disable rotation and thus use Safari while lying in your bed. :)

    Depends on the game. Puzzle games are good lying down.

    It's a little hard to play games/use apps that need the accelerometer, but otherwise I prefer laying down to play.

    I'm lying down right now on my bed posting this. When I play games I always sit up. However, when I'm surfin' I lie down most of the time.

    And yeah, would be nice to have portait and landscape lock mode.

    Lying down to the side? Kinda awkward using it like that.

    That's how I play PathPix while watching a DVD at the same time.

    That's what Jailbreaking is for.

    I like to play my virtual boy and Wii simultaneously while using a Hula Hoop lying down.

    What's the add on called? I use my ipod every night in bed too, and I hate that safari (and some apps) can't lock

    Search SBSettings and it will be in there somewhere.

    I like playing games while lying on my stomach.

    Really? Don't you find it limited and cramped? How would you play Doodle Jump? If I lay on my stomach while gaming, I would get owned!

    Actually my breathtaking rack props me up just enough so that I can play comfortably.
