I noticed that you can't take screenshots (which is also fantastic). However, I just thought of an idea, and tried it, and I was able to take a screenshot. This could be a security issue ?

I run cyanogenmod 7.1.0 stable

What I did was, select screenshot from the power menu (there is like a 5s timer before it actually takes a screenshot). In that time, I rotated the orientation and i was able to take a screenshot of the conversation. Im not sure if people know about this trick, and i dont want to advertise this trick either for security reasons.

I thought I'd let you know that it is possible to take a screenshot. I hope it gets corrected (but it could be just the way android handles screen orientations).
