iPhone feature(s)

[soprano]

I just found out (completely by accident) that if you press the power button and the round menu button at the bottom at the same time, your phone takes a screen shot and stores it in photos.

I have no idea when this would be useful but I guess someone might! Any other 'secret' features I should know about?

Thats never been a secret, all dev features are available already on the iphone, you can pay $99 to get dev updates too, that lets you have beta features, software, OS etc

[soprano]

No I didnt think it was a secret, just something I didnt know about. Which to be fair doesn't say much I am a bit of a luddite.

Sseriously?! Why the need to compartmentalise everything? General chat about an everyday item....

Didn't know that - thanks!

I'll join the fellow luddites and admit to a little feature I didnt realise until a couple of days ago...pressing the bottom button twice quickly brings up a mini player so you can pause and skip tracks without exiting the app your using. Had been exiting and restarting apps until this point every time I wanted to skip a track...whoopsie

Some good shortcuts here:

especially like the double tap of the bottom button to go back to the main screen. Just read the above and can now delete my emails without opening them! Yay!

I wondered how those pictures got there!!
