“Hi there, I’d like to create a screen capture from my apple iphone just like the print screen feature in Windows using the keyboard. Could it be achieved?”
Thanks for the question! Yes, screen capturing on your Apple devices is super easy! Here’s how:
On iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch: 
Press and hold both the “home button” and the “sleep/wake” button simultaneously, for about 1/2 a second and then release. You will see the screen flash white & you will hear a “camera snapshot” sound (assuming your volume is up & not muted). You will now find the screen capture in your devices “Photo” application, under “Camera Roll.” Here you can MMS, email, etc.
On your Mac:
Full Screen:
Since your Mac is a full-fledged computer, you have more screen capture options and more flexibility. Similar to the “Print Screen” option in windows (which captures the entire screen), pressing COMMAND + SHIFT + 3, for a second, will take a full screen capture and put a useable PNG file on your desktop. You’ll even hear a camera sound effect when it happens.
Part of your screen, windows or menus:
To capture just a portion of your screen, press COMMAND + SHIFT + 4. You’ll cursor will change to a cross-hair target. You can now click and drag around anything on your screen. When you let go, it will capture the contents and place a PNG on your desktop.
A handy tip (that I use a lot of capturing windows & menus), after you’ve pressed the key commands, let go and have the “cross-hair target,” press the spacebar one time. Anything you rollover will become highlighted in blue [windows, etc]. If you then click with your mouse, you’ll hear your camera sound effect and a PNG file of the particular element you highlighted will appear on the desktop. This feature is nice, because it will eliminate any distracting backgrounds & grab the system’s “aqua” drop shadows. AWESOME!
Screen Cast:
Finally, Mac users running Snow Leopard capture video of their desktop without any additional software. This is perfect for giving tutorials, or demonstrating functionality of a program. Here’s how:
Launch Quicktime Player (in your applications folder). Under the File Menu, choose “New Screen Recording….”
A small record dialog will pop-up helping establish your mic levels, etc. When read, click the red “record” button.
Quicktime will prompt you with instructions to stop the recording since this dialog window will disappear when recording.
Once you’re done & stop the recording, Quicktime Player will save a video file to your desktop that you can upload to YouTube, etc. Please be aware that video-screen capture is a very processor-intense job for your computer. The bigger your screen, the longer your record, the longer it will take to compress & save the video file. Don’t expect it instantly.

I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
Random question: I am starting my own blog to share my photography experiences. Do you find it hard or easy to post consistently?

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
I really like your site. Very good posts! Please continue posting such awesome cotent.
nice blog!
