Pixel smearing.

One of the things I keep reading WRT how good digital capture is relates to
the lack of grain in the digital capture.
I do have a problem understanding this.
It seems to me that in order to have a "grain" free image, the capture would
have to be a continuous tone device.
I know this to be untrue, as the manufacturers talk about pixel counts, and
I know that a pixel is a discreet thing.
I've seen comparative pictures between a 6mp digital capture, and a 35mm
film image, and the digital capture is much smoother.
So, somewhere along the way, it seems to me, a big fat lie has crept in
somewhere.
Specifically, what sort of image processing is being done to the image from
the digital capture device to smooth out the spaces between the pixels?
