Yeah you've been able to take screenshots on iPhone since 1.0. Home button and sleep button at the same time. Screenshots go right into your pictures folder.

Pressing buttons to use built-in OS functionality is much better than having to constantly run a program in the background (and re-open if you accidentally close, not to mention accidentally taking unintended screenshots).
