Cool Tip: iPhone 2.0 Software Has Built-In Screen Capture

You’ve probably seen the cool screen shots we’ve got all over Gizmodo today and wondered to yourself what tool we’re using to make them. We’re not using one, because the iPhone 2.0 software has a built-in screen capture shortcut. Hold the “home” button, then hit the “power/sleep” button, and presto, a capture of your screen is in your photos. This doesn’t work in the 1.1.4 or earlier versions, so you’ll need to upgrade, but chances are you already have.

    Gg Giz, you’re about 6 months late in reporting this feature – it’s not new to 2.0…

    Where is the 2.0 software for ipod touch? I cant use the applications that I have bought.

  • Matt

    No, the previous feature was using the home button and the MUTE button, hence unavaliable for the Touch. But if it’s now, as reported, the home and sleep/wake button, then it’s all good for the Touch as well … which is good!

    Hopefully the 2.0 software will be up at 14:00 our time when America hits 11.07.08

    Looks like apple will have to provide the 2.0 software for free due to the way that applications have been advertised as requiring software 2.0 update, but no mention of it costing anything, by law anyone that has downloaded any applications would be deceived by apple if they then don’t offer the software update for free. Would be great if Gizmodo can highlight this.
