iPod Widget and Orientation Lock Discovered in iPhone OS 4.0b3

An iPod widget and orientation lock have been discovered in the latest iphone OS 4.0 Beta, according to 9to5Mac.

If you flick to the left of your first window of open apps, you are greeted with a few new buttons. A stationary iPod button to quickly launch the app, iPod music controls, and Orientation lock. The orientation lock is just like on the iPad, but instead is controlled via this new menu. Tap once to lock in portrait, and again to unlock. The iPod music controls are similar to the ones that used to appear when you double clicked the home button. 

It's possible that Apple could expand on this functionality with future betas providing widgets that could perform other tasks.
