Hi!
I've posted here and the official Apple developer forums regarding the keyboard in landscape issue, searched all over google and unfortunately it doesn't look like this is possible. I'm hoping someone can correct me, though

I'd love to be able to display the keyboard in landscape mode.
Even if I force the UIDeviceOrientation ( I think that's what it's called...i'm not at my development computer right now ) to UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeLeft and the keyboard still comes up in portrait mode, however it's in the wrong the position and actually animates off-screen
Anyone have a solution for this?
