On the HP Photosmart R927 & R967 digital cameras, what is the 'bracketing' feature and how does it work?

I was interested in purchasing a Fuji digital camera that takes two quick shots consecuitively, one with the flash and one without the flash so that the user can choose which picture turned out better. After looking at some of HP's cameras they have a feature called bracketing. Is it the same as the 2 quick shots? Can anyone tell me just what the bracketing feature on the HP cameras does and how it works?

1. Bracketing lets you take several shots in a row with a range of EV settings, say 5 pictures from EV -2 to EV +2, or three shots from EV zero to EV +1.5... it's whatever you set the range to be. This way, when you hold down the shutter button, the camera will take a series of shots from slightly under exposed to slightly over exposed (hopefully including a shot with the perfect exposure). It's a nifty feature for tricky lighting conditions, but not what you were looking for. To take one shot with flash and one without, you'll have to change the settings manually (ie turn off the flash, and possibly crank up the ISO to compensate).
2. it is a feature which takes 3 pictures one nomal one a little brighter one a little darker
