I think you're referring to the dynamic range of the screen, which might have been the original interpretation, but most people these days think of the range of exposure that the sensor can handle. I first heard it in reference to Half Life: Lost Coast, but since then I've only heard it in reference to multiple exposures in photography.
I might be wrong, but I'm that the sensors in modern professional SLRs can handle much more difference in exposure latitude than smaller digicams and especially cell phone cameras, with film holding even more latitude. Though I cringe at most over-processed HDR-styled photos, this seems to be a valid use of the technique, overcoming the technical limitations of such a small sensor.

Correct. Here's an example of 16mm negative of Kodak's Vision 3, for example, that shows the various meterings in the scene: http://motion.kodak.com/US/en/motion/Products/Production/Color_Negative_Films/5219/data5219.htm http://motion.kodak.com/US/en/motion/Products/Production/Col.... It's easily 7 stops - I think you'd be hard pressed to pull off the same image on your iPhone camera (though I am interested to see how well the new HDR stuff works).
