Thanks to iPhone Atlas, I was able to find a “interesting, undocumented feature” with the the new iPhone’s 2.0 operating system.
If you press the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons at the same time … bam! Screenshot, right into your Camera Roll. Wa-hoo!
Here is a screen shot I took with my iPhone 3G a few seconds ago. It came out to be a 320×480, 60 KB file size when I emailed it to myself. It was also in RGB color, (for you photo whores out there).
So, this leaves me with one question: Are there more hidden features for the new iPhone software? Post a comment if you know of any.
Steve Jobs has a few trick up his sleeve, huh?
Sincerely yours,

*UPDATE: Via ryandubridge on Twitter, this trick is documented on the iPhone SDK development tools. It’s still a cool trick though!
