We've pretty much been covering every detail of iOS 5 and we just made this discovery. While by default iOS 5 lets you snap pictures using the volume up button on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, there's another way of taking snaps without actually touching your iPhone.

If you're more likely to have headphones attached with your iPhone most of the time, iOS 5 has now made it even easier for you to take pictures. Simply press the volume up button on the headphones while in the Camera.app, and your iPhone will snap a picture. Its as simple as that.

iOS 5 also brings an Android styled Notification Center and a BBM inspired iMessage client. iOS 5 beta 1 has already been jailbroken and you can now get custom third party widgets in the Notification Center. The first third party widget for Notification Center is UISettings.
