This is kinda cool - I was bugged about how people were getting these great iPhone screen shots - they were clearly not using iPhoney & Photoshop like me... so a bit of googling and here you go:

it's really simple. Hold down the home button, click the sleep button and the screen will flash, letting you know the image was taken. Then go to the camera app and look at the camera roll - the most recent photo will be your screen shot.

I love Make magazine.

Oh, that's cool!  I thought I knew all the hidden shortcuts.  I was wrong.

I think I read somewhere that the command sequence has changed for the 3GS... I'll see if I can find that article again...

I tried the screen save on the 3Gs and it works fine, no difference.

The command sequence that is different on the 3Gs is the "force-quit an application" sequence.  Before you just held down the home button for 10 seconds or so.  Now I think you hold down the sleep/wake button until you get the power off slider, THEN you hold down the home button.  Holding down the home button by itself is now Voice Control.

There may be other differences, but that's the only one I've run across.

right, that is what I read. Thanks for the clarification Dv8r
