How to Capture an iPhone or iPod Touch Screen

Toms iPhone Screen While writing up the iPhone Stuff page, I needed to grab some screenshots from my iPhone. I quickly Googled for the answer and found out that I could easily grab a screenshot by holding down the Home button, then punching and releasing the top button. The screen would darken and capture the image while making the snapshot sound. Now, how do I get it on my computer? The article I read mentioned downloading the Apple SDK and then you can move files through iTunes.

The Apple SDK is over 1GB!!!!

I thought there had to be a better way. Sure enough, just go to Camera, press the Camera Roll button on the bottom left (press twice if necessary), select the picture, then press the arrow button on the bottom left. Select Email phot. I'm sure you can figure out the rest.

See if you can spot something unusual about the home screen of my iPhone. I'll give you a clue: PdaNet is not available from the App Store.

I admire the useful data you

This is really cool, it makes you realise actually how much can be done with the iphone when you do a bit of digging, Apple really is at the forefront of technology and being able to take a screenshot like this on my iphone is awesome, it is useful in showing people what you are doing, instructions wise etc. Adam @ the
