How to you take a screenshot of your iPhone?

I get asked this question quite a bit and it has a pretty easy answer.

Why would you need to take a screenshot?

You may want to record something on your screen for later, share an image from an app or share what your iPhone home screen looks like. If you’re having a problem with an app, you can screenshot the error your getting and send it to the developer. There are many reasons to do it – it’s just another fun and useful tool on your iPhone.

Process to take an iPhone Screenshot:

1. Hold Down Sleep Button and Home Button as the same time
2. Screen will flash White
3. Image is saved to your Images as a .png
4. E-mail or download to your computer like any other image

That’s it!

    BTW, anyway knows if this works for the iPod Touch. The tutorial at http://dotdoh.com/?p=584 seems to suggest so.
