I'm currently using a slide-out navigation on a website for handheld devices and tablets. Some of the stakeholders on the project are concerned that using the slide-out for landscape orientation is going to be awkward.
They're suggesting we use the regular navigation (standard group of horizontal links) if the tablet is in landscape and reserve the slide-out for portrait only. The standard horizontal nav works fine, but my gut is telling me users shouldn't experience such a major shift in approach to navigation on the same device should they decide to rotate it.
Thoughts?
