   You can also hold the home button and then click the sleep/wake button, which is a bit easier.

   Yes, but I wonder if this is a feature or a Hack, either way very handy indeed!

   Wow. Seems like a lot of people have found out about this. Saw this funky trick on this website if you’re feeling mischievous:

   according to the author, once taking an image of a friend’s homepage on his iphone, hand the iphone back to him. he’ll think it’s hung or something like that. one of those cheap thrills.

   I can’t get this to work on my new 3gs. It worked well on my old iPhone. =\

   It’s not a hack, just a feature…one which you can find listed in the instructions on the Apple website.
