I’m sure we are all aware of the famous IOS screenshot capability and how it came on all versions of the iphone without any sort of manipulation required. Well now we can rest at ease fellow android lovers, as turns out android have started to put it into the main distribution.

Now I am unsure as to how far this new reach goes, but as far as I am aware any android releases that include sense 3.0 or higher will include this new feature. It can be activated by pressing the power button and the home button (much like IOS) but of course we all now that android is better.

The screenshot is stored within your photo directory/gallery where you can obviously go in and review it, look at it or share it whatever really takes your fancy.

Overall this sort of development is a big step up. I remember when I had a G1, and the Hero – where you had to actually have the phone rooted before you could even consider taking screenshots. Even with the phone rooted it turned into a bigger pain trying to run the app than what it was worth.

Maybe this is a turning point. I’m not going to say that Android was missing loads of points and it was awful, because that is far from the truth. Overall the android OS is one of the leaders in its field and it is something to be proud of. Maybe now we can get just those little things that it was missing previous – you never know
