How to take screenshots in Android 2.3.3 without root?

I've been waiting for this feature.

Android 2.3.3 allows to take screenshot without root.

Can you programmatically take screenshot? If so how?

Or is it only manually (like Home + Power button) like Apple?

The reports are incorrect. The screenshot feature requires a permission that only system applications (apps signed with the system image's key) can be granted. It will not let you take a screenshot programmatically or using the phone's keys.
