How to Make Your iPad Home Button OBSOLETE

With iOS 5.0 on the iPad, not everyone knows this, but you no longer need your Home Button anymore. Makes for quick navigation.

On your iPad go to SETTINGS. On the right hand side towards the middle of the page, make sure that you switch MULTITASKING GESTURES to ON

Using all 5 fingers, you can PINCH to get to your home screen, SWIPE UP to get your multitasking bar, SWIPE LEFT or RIGHT to switch between apps. See video on the next step.

In this video I will go through the 3 different gestures WITHOUT using my Home Button.
