iPhone Simulator Screen Capture

In order to share with you the applications I’m creating on the iPhone, I need to capture the iPhone screen. Not deploying them to a device yet, I need to capture the image from the simulator itself.
The most common way to do so screen capture on Macs is to use a special combination of keys (Command-Shift-4) and then use the mouse to select the area to capture. More details here.
This way works fine but requires me to be very accurate in the way I select the area to capture each time that I need to capture a new screen.
Looking online, I found a better, easier and still free way using a tool called “Capture me“. When you start it, it gives you a transparent window that you can resize and place on top of the iPhone simulator. Then, you just have to click in the middle to capture the screen and save the picture on your hard drive. The good thing with it is that you can keep the capture area the way it is for all capture and don’t have to resize it each time.
Here is how it looks below:

In case you need to capture the screen of your iPhone or iPod then you can use the tool provided by XCode called organizer: more details here
