I currently use r.viewer as my gallery and ive noticed that all photos ive taken portrait, are actually rotated to the correct position in gallery view, and lanscape images are displayed as landscape. I havent gone through the pics and rotated them

Does the n95 do this with some kind of orientation sensor, its the same in standard gallery too, all the images are displayed in the same orientation in which they were taken. Its a great little feature.

As far as i can remember the phone has a built in accelormeter so

if you think about it it is just the same as any camera, which ever way you take the photo it will be displayed.

I wonder if this could be used to automatically change the display from landscape to portrate when web browsing for example?

If it can detect camera orientation, I doubt that there's any reason it couldn't in theory, if Nokia wrote code for it?

If you dont like this feature you can turn it off in Camera / Options / Rotate Image [ON] or [Off]

And when viewing images in the gallery. If the pictures have been taken with the orientation recognised, I have to keep flicking the phone between landscape and portrait to keep getting full-screen pictures.
