How do you grab a high quality screenshot image of the iPod Touch 2.0 or the iPhone 3G screen without downloading any screen capture app or using a digital camera?
To take a screenshot of any iPhone screen and save that a picture on your computer, upgrade your iPhone OS to firmware version 2.0 in case you are still using the old firmware. If you have an iPhone 3G, you already have a built-in screen capture function.
The hidden Print Screen in iPod Touch & iPhone:
In order to take a screen capture of the iPhone or iPod, press and hold the Home button that is located at the bottom center of the iPhone and is more often used to return to the default screen of your iPhone.
While your hold the home button, also press the Sleep / Wake key on top of iPhone and a screenshot of the existing screen will get saved to your iPhone or iPod photos folder. The iPod / iPhone screen will flash momentarily to indicate that a screenshot has been captured.

Do remember that the same key combination will reset your iPhone if you press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds.
