Hi Kevin and Chris, I've actually used the screen capture mode when traveling with someone who could read maps. While I had a connection to the internet, I used the "AroundMe" app to look for a restaurant. Now the Maps app gives you route information, but, only while you have a wireless connection. After reviewing the directions and saving the address and contact information in the AroundMe favorites on my iPod Touch, I took a screen shot of the map. Then, when we went to the restaurant (at an unfamiliar location, since this was on a trip), I was able to pull up the screen capture of the map from the Photos section.
So Chris is entirely correct that you can press the power button and the home key to take a picture of the screen on the iPod Touch, even though there is no built in camera.
