As of 3.2 you cannot change the orientation of a running application from code.

But you can start an application with a fixed orientation, although doing so this is not straightforward.

Try with this recipe:

1. set your orientation to UISupportedInterfaceOrientations in the Info.plist file
2. in your window define a 480x320 "base view" every other view will be added to
3. in all view controllers set up the shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: method (to return the same value you defined in the plist, of course)

4. in all view controllers set a background view with

   self.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 480, 320)

   in the viewDidLoad method that should do the trick.
