Description

when using the Camera API to take a photo the returned (stored) image is not correctly oriented so if it's displayed on a form etc as confirmation it is (or appears to be) incorrect.

Notes in the docs indicate that it's ignored on all platforms...

I am assuming there is exif data available so hopefully it would be possible to implement as part of the framework.
Implementing something like jsjpegmeta http://code.google.com/p/jsjpegmeta/ along with image manipulation in javascript is probably less trivial that I'd like to undertake
