Following its fortnightly schedule, Apple released a new beta of its iPhone OS 4 and SDK to developers. The devs were quick enough to unravel new features and some managed to successfully uncover couple of noteworthy features. First is the screen orientation lock in iPhone and iPod touch and the other is quick access to the iPod controls via the multitask interface.

iPad has a dedicated switch to lock the screen orientation but iPhone and iPod touch users will be able to take advantage of the feature from the software, after accessing it by swiping left from the multitask manager . The iPod controls can be used basically the same way and features simple music controls like rewind, play/pause and forward.
