Latest iPhone beta firmware does full screen captures, saves web images

You might have heard that the latest iPhone 2.0 beta firmware allows users to save web images to its running camera roll for later download to its host machine (or sharing via email). Well, a reliable source let us know that the image capturing good times don't end there: the iPhone now capable of taking full screen caps (like the one above) simply by holding the sleep button, then tapping the home button. We haven't personally tested either technique (we already know what you're thinking: we can't say whether it captures screens from a video), but apparently it flashes white to indicate the cap's been taken and the image has been added to your roll. Let's hope these two neato features make it to the release firmware.

hooray for button sequences! The more features it gets, the more complicated it will get! If only they used 2 or 3 buttons on the front!

This is a good things. It shows that Apple is really going to add a lot to this phone. It is great seeing how many new features can actually be added to a phone through a firmware update. Kinda makes me wonder what WM phones are actually capable.
