Interesting bit of controversy brewing for the iPhone today over the revelation that apparently it takes a screen shot every time you hit the Home button. It does this so that it can make that cool wipe effect that leads you into the next program, and when it's finish it supposedly deletes the shot, but apparently it can be (and has been) recovered by forensics experts and used as evidence.

Considering I have an ssh pubkey on my phone, there's far worse things that someone could swipe from it
