How to take screenshots with iPhone 3G
I have been looking for this since I got the phone, its a tiny hack and allows you to take screenshots from your iPhone, I presume it works on iPod touch also but haven’t confirmed this.
Here is one I done early

You click your home button and your power button at the same time, please note its a click not a hold works perfect everytime.

Nice little trick. Now all I need is my bloody iphone.
Come on O2!!
You can also hold the home button and then click the sleep/wake button, which is a bit easier.
Yep – works on Touch as well.

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. =\
Ahh Sweeettt! Thanks for the info Pat, too bad i read it so late
It’s not a hack, just a feature…one which you can find listed in the instructions on the Apple website.
