What is Browsershots?
Browsershots is a free open-source online service created by Johann C. Rocholl. It can take screenshots of your websites/blogs in different browsers to help you check if your websites/blogs show up correctly on them.

How does Browsershots do?
It's quite simple. When you submit your site address, it will be added to a job queue. A number of distributed computers will open your site in their browsers then they will take screenshots and upload them to the central server where you can view them.

Currently Browsershots can make the test with many browsers on four Operating Systems (Linux, Windows, Mac OS and BSD). Besides that you can choose options about screenshot size, color depth, javascript, java and flash for many kind of testing.

This is a great tool for web designers who otherwise have to pay for paid services to check their designs on different browsers. So check it now at browsershots.org.

If you want to capture screen shots, seeing that there was no built-in utility to do that on the phone, I recommend you to use The Open Screen Capture. This app was developed by Space Software Studio. It allows users to choose between 0 sec, 10 sec and 30 sec delay. The screenshots are saved in PNG format (smaller file size than BMP) on the memory card.

It performs a great job of capturing the screen - however it's still in the beta stage. The image file format cannot be changed (must be PNG), so keep that in mind when using the app. Don't be too surprised if the app does act up when you want to take a screenshot of a game or something (It never acted up on me when I've been using it though).
