Screen Capture method for Android, WinMo and iPhone

While it's easy to take a screenshot in Apple iPhone, it seems very difficult to screenshot in an Android handset.

iPhone and iPod Touch

In iPhone and iPod touch, to screen capture:

1) Press Home

2) then press Power
3) the screen flashes white to indicate a successful shot, then you can release both button

This should work for iPhone, 3G, 3GS, Touch 1st Gen and Touch 2nd Gen alike.

Android

In Android, there are two options, both option require some advanced knowledge to achieve.

Option 1) Use the Android System Development Kit, there's a screen capture function, but this will require downloading and unzipping plus a lot of instructions to follow.

Option 2) Just use the App from Market named "ShootMe".  This application requires rooting (superuser request, or SU request).  If you have a custom ROM, chances are you already have it rooted.  This little app not only can take screenshots by shaking the phone or shouting and save it into PNG files in your SD card, it is also capable to record your series of actions as a "clip"! (it will take a series of pictures continously, so you will have to stop the recording once finished)

Windows Mobile

WinMo handsets and WM powered PDAs can try Ilium Softwares's "Screen Capture" (direct link here).  The software is pretty straightforward, just download and install it, run the program and follow the short instruction.  When you press the defined key, a screenshot is made.
