Just released iOS 5 Beta 3 brings new Accessibility settings called “AssistiveTouch,” which allows user to set up a floating panel to access a variety of hardware controls and gesture-based commands without using an iPad or iPhone’s hardware buttons.

AssistiveTouch can be enabled by going in Settings->General->Accessibility->AssistiveTouch. Once its turned on new menu will appear that will let user rotate the screen orientation, control the device’s volume, “shake” the device, lock the display and more.

Check out video below to see “AssistiveTouch” in action.
