Take and Capture Screenshot Image on iPhone 3G or iPhone and iPod Touch 2.0 Without Screen Shot Utility
The original iPhone and iPod Touch with firmware OS version 1.x does not has a built-in utility to take or capture screenshot or screen snapshot image on iPhone or iPod Touch, unless user hacks or jailbreaks the iPhone or iPod to run third-party screenshot capture utility.
This is no longer the case in the new iPhone firmware OS software version 2.0. iPhone and iPod Touch user who upgrades and updates to firmware operating system v2.0, which among other features is support of App Store, together with iPhone 3G can enjoy the built-in screenshot capture feature newly added, making the taking screenshot images a very easy process, without the need to download and install any third party or additional applications.
To capture the screen image or take a screenshot in iPhone 2.0, iPhone 3G (by default is using firmware software v 2.0), and iPod Touch 2.0, just press the Home button and Sleep/Wake (On/Off) key at the top of the mobile device simultaneously at the same time.
The Apple device screen will flash and an image will be automatically saved and stored in the iPhone or iPod Touch Camera Roll or photo album.

It works on the original iPhone as well. I got mine the very first day they came out and it does that too.

“…at the top of the mobile device simultaneously at the same time.”
Just curious, doesn’t that sound a bit redundant? Simultaneously means at the same time. Haha

Wow. Seems like a lot of people have found out about this. Saw this funky trick on this website if you’re feeling mischievous:
once taking an image of a friend’s homepage on his iphone, hand the iphone back to him. he’ll think it’s hung or something like that. one of those cheap thrills.

“Simultaneously” and “at the same time” both mean the exact same thing, so you’re being very redundant by saying both phrases back-to-back.

It works. The trick is to release the buttons after 1-2 seconds.
If you continue holding down the buttons, it will shutdown. Keep hold down the buttons while it shutsdown and it will restart. Once you see the Apple logo you can release the buttons.
