Today I was over at Ted Murphy‘s (@tedmurphy) blog and I saw he had an interesting tip for iPhone users. He had posted a screenshot of a program on his iPhone and immediately got lots of comments asking him how to do it.
“To take a screenshot with an iPhone simply press the sleep and home buttons at the same time. The screen with briefly flash and a screenshot will be saved to your iPhone’s camera roll as a PNG. You can get the screen shot off your phone just like any other photo. You will need an iPhone running firmware 2.0 or greater in order to use this feature.”
I don’t own an iPhone, and at this point it’s looking like I never will unless it comes over to Verizon. It’s a neat phone, and has tons of productivity uses, but at this point it’s more of a luxury than something I really need. However, I know the iPhone base is growing, so I hope you guys found this tip useful! Now that you know how to take screenshots, I expect to see a lot more iPhone posts out there on your blogs!
