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.

Jonathan Ive, the man behind the design of Apple iPhone and iPod, recently created a giant iPod model that he sent as a gift to British fashion designer Sir Paul Smith on his birthday.

While a device of that size may not be very practical, ft.com has revealed that Apple is actually working to release a large-screen iPod sometime during Christmas.

Apple is racing to offer a full-featured, tablet-sized computer in time for the Christmas shopping season. The touch-sensitive device will have a screen that may be up to 10 inches diagonally.

It will connect to the internet like the iPod Touch – probably without phone capability but with access to the web, and to Apple’s online stores for software and entertainment.

The price of the new 10″ Apple iPod Tablet could be anywhere between $600 and $1,000 according to the same report.
