The most recent example comes by way of Gizmodo, which recently discovered that the mobile version of Safari due to ship as part of the update will allow users to save web images to their handset’s photo album.

“We tried and it works: just hold your finger against an image for a longer time than usual and the popup dialog will appear,” the gadget site reported. Once saved, the images can be used as background images, mailed to friends, or used as custom contact icons.
engadgetmobile have try too, taking full screen caps (like the one above) simply by holding the sleep button, then tapping the home button. We haven’t personally tested either technique (we already know what you’re thinking: we can’t say whether it captures screens from a video), but apparently it flashes white to indicate the cap’s been taken and the image has been added to your roll. Let’s hope these two neato features make it to the release firmware.
