This feature is enabled from the accessibility settings on the iOS Device. When enabled, it adds a new button to the home screen which gives you access to a menu overlay with a number of features like:

  • It allows you to rotate the screen without actually turning the device.
  • Go back to the home screen without pressing the home button.
  • You can use two-, three-, four-, or even five- fingered gesture with one finger.
  • You can pinch-to-zoom or swipe in any direction with just a single tap.
  • You can even record and save your own gesture.

For the feature to function you need to have iOS 5 beta 3 installed on to your iOS device. And after you enable the feature you will have to wait for 3-4 minutes as it takes some time fo the button to appear.

  • iPhone 4, 3GS
  • Apple TV

So after the release, most of you might be guessing whats the update on iOS 5 Beta 3 Jailbreak. Well as always Redsnow came up with the tethered jailbreak with a problem of Apps from the App store crashing as soon as you open them.

But today SnowBreeze updated for iOS 5 Beta 3 fixes the problem of app crashing, and the RedSnOw jailbreak tool was also updated by Dev Team to fix the errors. But the jailbreak is a tethered one.
