>> Have you ever found a screen in your iPhone that you just wanted to capture forever, maybe a website or some strange configuration of icons?

>> Well, now you can. I'm Tom Merritt from www.cnet.com with a quick tip on iPhone screenshots. You have to have upgraded to firmware version 2.0 on your iPhone, either you already have if on an iPhone 3G you just brought. Or you upgraded your old iPhone through Itunes. Now, find the thing you want a screenshot of, maybe it's a funny text message or a website or something, then press the square button down here, and the top button up here. You'll see a white flash, and the screen you were just looking at will show up in your photos. So now you can prove that your friends blog looked all messed up in the iPhone web browser or just show off your desktop configuration.

>> That's it for this quick tip. I'm Tom Merritt, www.cnet.com. ^M00:00:52 [ Music ]
