So how do I and all those other websites get these lovely iOS screenshots?
It is simpler than you think.
All you need to do when you are ready to capture the screen press the Home button and the Power/Sleep button at the same time as shown below:
You will instantly see a flash and the screen will be captured in the full resolution of the display on the device you are using. For example the iPad and iPad 2 captures at 1024×768 resolution.
To locate the screen capture once taken simply go into your photos app and look in the saved photos area. You can then share it via Email, Twitter, or Print it to a printer which supports AirPrint.
Connecting your device to your Mac will automatically launch iPhoto allowing you to import the screenshots to your computer.
This process also works to iPhone and iPod touch.
