It seems that Ubuntu Touch isn't locked. It looks like certain screens just
don't support the other orientation. Running it on my Nexus 7 has
practically everything portrait-only, so I thought it was locked until I
tried the video player, which supports both orientations. That makes me
think you'll need to build it into your own applications for now, at least.
