Photo orientation wrong when synched back to iPhone

Is this the same problem as pictures that I take with my iPhone 3G, orientation is sideways and I try to flip them with iPhoto but when I put them in iWeb they are still sideways!

This is an iTunes bug. It downsizes all photos and removes the EXIF information from photos when syncing to your iPhone. Portrait oriented photos are then displayed incorrectly in iPhone.

This problem exists for all EXIF data. My Canon A590 saves using the EXIF flag and everything is sideways on my iPod Touch. The worst part is virtually every other Mac program respects the flag and shows them properly so it's a pain to even quickly find, let alone correct the actual orientation so stupid programs like iTunes that ignore the data will show them correctly on devices like the iPod Touch or iPhone. If I scroll through my photo collection, both Finder and even Photoshop show the vertical pictures correctly regardless of whether they are saved with the flag or are actually rotated. So good luck finding the wrong ones if your photos are mixed (e.g. Photo CD photos using my Canon EOS Rebel film camera are actually rotated properly while my cell phones are just wrong period).

A better question is why in the Universe hasn't Apple fixed this SIMPLE bug in any of the past iTunes updates? Do they not read ANY of their bug reports submitted to them? I don't think they do, to be honest. I've reported several simple bugs with AppleTV and asked a question about HD movie rentals that suddenly changed to standard definition PURCHASE only with no explanation. Several are STILL on the "Must See HD" AppleTV lists even, but you CANNOT rent them period. It's infuriating. They not only didn't reply, but they had the nerve to send me another e-mail asking me how my experience was. I responded to that and explained how they never replied and never addressed any of the issues and they ignored that reply too. Apple support is very poor, IMO. There is no excuse for this EXIF bug. It makes my iPod Touch look crappy when trying to show my photos.
