After having a look around the Internet at some of the reviews for various iPhone applications available I began wondering how they managed to snap screenshots of the apps. I knew it had to be part of the iPhone Operating System because it would need to be available to any application.

After a quick hunt around I discovered that pressing the Home button and the Standby button at the same time you get a screenshot taken (including a flash of white and the camera shutter noise). Your new image can then be found in the Camera Roll in the Photos application.

Few things compare in everyday utility to having the Internet in your pocket.

I got a brand new 16GB iPhone this afternoon (this message was posted from the iPhone).
