How-To: Take iPhone or iPod Touch screenshots!
If you've been following the new iTunes app store, you might be wondering how all those screenshots got there. Some people seem to think you need to run an iPhone simulator or install an app to create them, but there's actually a built-in way to do it right on your phone or pod. We thought this would be a good time to go over it. Step 1: Briefly hold down the power button on the top of your device. While it's down, press the ... uhh, well, the only other button these things have. The one on the front. And that's all! Your screen should flash momentarily, and your screenshot should be saved in a new folder under Photos.
Appropriately, it's called Saved Photos. When you want to get your photos from your iPhone/iPod to your Mac, without having to mess around with syncing in iTunes, you can just pop open Image Capture -- it comes standard with OS X -- and pick the ones you want.

iPhones and iPod touches show up in Scanner and Camera Wizard on Windows, correct?
It doesn't matter to me, as a Mac user, but I'm sure quite a few people reading the article will be concerned.

You can also save pictures in the Safari browser by holding your finger on the picture for a couple of seconds. They also get saved to that folder.

And if i´m a windows user???
how am i transfer the photos, with itunes?

I suspect the photos will show up in any software designed to nab images off of cameras, so hopefully windows comes with something like that.
This is a pain but before I found this tip I simply used the option on each image to email it to myself.
HTH,
Julia

Nice tip. You can actually just push both buttons at the same time. A more in-depth guide about taking the screenshot and actually emailing it to yourself can be found here: http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en-us&q=How+To:+Taking+a+Screenshot+on+an+Ipod+Touch+/+Iphone&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

Ok, but after you take the pictures, how do you delete them? iPhoto annoyingly opens every time I plug in my iPod now.
