How to Take Screenshots (or Screencaptures) on the Palm Pre
Tuesday, 23 June 2009
Palm Pre has a three-button combination for taking screenshots (or, screencaptures, as they call them on the Pre): Orange Button, Sym (Symbol), and P. Hold these down for a couple seconds, and a screenshot of your screen will end up in the screencaptures category of your pictures app. The pictures app doesn’t start automatically. I think they should have taken advantage of webOS’s mult-tasking abilities and had the photos app start up in the background. I mean what percentage of people will want to go straight to the photos app anyway? Maybe 85% at the very least? Take a look of a screenshot I just took of the photo app’s gallery page…
See the screencaptures category near the bottom. Also, the first picture in the roll at the top was of a clown lady we were spying on... but that's all I can tell you, or I'd have to kill every single one of you.

I agree! Of all of the apps I use, the Photo App is always the one that seems to have the longest load time. Background loading would definitely take care of the problem.
