You might want to include how to do it on an iPhone (very simple):

1. Press home+power button together at the same time. Screen will flash white and you will hear a camera snapping sound if your volume is up.

2. Photo will be in camera roll in photos app for emailing/syncing with iTunes

You added one step too many.
