You have to root the device I believe.

Download ShootMe.

Not all devices have to be rooted for it to work.

I don't understand why anyone's first choice wouldn't be to google this question.

I use Shoot me but my phone is also rooted on a custom rom
If you can get it work when your done using it make sure to kill it with like a task killer I've found out it will kill a battery fast.

Like above posts said, ShootMe works great on some phones, others need to be rooted first.

Also, you can take screenshots with the aid of your computer.

• Plug your phone into your computer, it should ask to download drivers. Do so.
• select Settings on your menu
• Then select Applications -> Development -> and enable USB debugging by placing a check in the box next to it.
• You will have to download the Android SDK from http://code.google.com/android/download.html. (it takes a while)
• Select the Windows version, and save the file. It’s not a huge file, but it’s not small either. Depending on your Internet connection speed, it might take a while to download.
• When finished, unzip the file
• Now download the JDK (Java Developers Kit) from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/. (there are a bunch of files to choose from, just choose the Java SE Development Kit.
• Run the JDK install. Click Next until you’re done.
• Now plug in your phone
• Now, in the location where you unzipped the Android SDK, go to the "Tools" folder, and find a file called ddms.bat.
• You might see a dialog box pop up asking to send usage statistics to Google. This is all up to you, it doesn't matter either way.
• Then Click the Proceed button to finish opening DDMS.
• The Dalvik Debug Monitor will open. Make sure your phone is listed in the upper-left window, and select it by clicking on it once.
• To take a screenshot, select Device > Screen capture …
• The Device Screen Capture window will open, and display whatever is being displayed on your Android phone.
• Now, on your phone get the screen ready that you want to take a screencap of.
• Click the Refresh button.
• Your screencap should show up. Click the Save button.
• Save it to your computer.
• That's it!

Best part is, any android phone will work WITHOUT rooting.
