I just discover by chance this morning a feature little know by iPod touch owners.

Your iPod can takes “photos”! (Screenshots in fact… there is no camera ^^) so how do we proceed?

It’s simple press : “Home” button then “ON/OFF” button, you should see a quick blank screen (the flash) and here is it, you took a screenshot of your iPod!

A other interesting thing is that when you’ll plug-in on Windows Vista (for example), the OS will recognize it as a digital camera, you could explore the iPod like others external storage devices:

You have also transformed your iPod to a USB storage device!

you actually can’t use your iPod Touch as an external USB device. There’s no “paste” function enabled, neither via right-click, nor via shortcut keys. It ain’t working. So, you can only copy the screenshots from your iPod on your computer and… of course, delete the screenshots from the iPod.

This basicly sucks, as I was very happy with the screenshot-accident :P

yours.
