Rotation of my iPhone seemed to really throw it off. All the snowflakes suddenly zoomed off to the left, and then there were no flakes left in the globe.

After I returned back to portrait orientation there will still no flakes :(

EDIT: iPhone 4 with iOS 4.2.1

interesting - we tried it out (was it ultra slow for you too?) and while we didn't see the snowflakes zoom to the left, we didn't get orientation events. We didn't have a lot of time so we went with it, but we'll look into the code and see what's up.

This page works great on my N900 :)

Now that is something I honestly didn't expect - but that I like hearing.

Orientation events are new in mobile safari as of iOS 4.2. The orientation works on the iPad, for example.

Yes, but there's been a common workaround using window.orientation for a while:

Yes it was kindof slow
