Today I accidently clicked the home and power button at the same time and I heard my phone snap a picture... I did it again and I heard the same thing. Nothing happen I just heard the noise. When I went to my photos in my Camera Roll was a screen shot of my iphone of when I snapped the pictures. I havent read about that... Here is an example

Lol yes. If you hold down the home and sleep button breifly the iPhone will take a screenshot.
It definitely is a cool feature. I asked this question a while ago and I was sort of embarressed for not knowing about this feature yet! lol.
Comes useful if you want to show us something cool or if you have a problem that you can visually show us with a screnshot. :)
 
what do you think people did when they write tutorial etc... with screen shots of their phones?
 
well to me it is still a hidden feature to have these icons of websites like this google or yahoo icon. how did you do that?
