With a camera on board, the emphasis on the internet, and the popularity of youtube you think this thing would be a shoe-in for capturing video. Why are there no good video capturing capabilities?
Firstly, the use case was probably not part of the scope of the iT, hence this was not considered in the development.
Secondly, even if someone did come up with a video camera app similar to the camera app, we may not be able to upload the file if the upload manager is Flash-based since we have established that Adobe has not built in support for webcams in Linux in their Flash implementation.
If I am incorrect on the part about YouTube using Flash (I hope I am), then all that is holding us back is video camera functionality. That said, what would any of you pay for such an app?
We take free apps so much for granted that many of us sometimes forget the amount of time and effort developers put into bringing these apps to us. Time and money out of their own pockets, and more often than not, they get more screamers than thankers.
Nokia did NOT design the iT to be able to capture video for upload. It was not one of the use cases identified in the development of the iT. If we have it at some point in time, great. If not, and if anyone is expecting Nokia to offer this, then you're bought the wrong device in the first place.
It would probably be better/easier to do the recording from a mobile phone with a camera and upload it from there, and this will probably work for me and many others out there who use a mobile phone as a dial-up modem to data networks. In this case, then there's no point to having this functionality in the iT.

If you want to use OS 2007, an older Camera version had video capture. Version 2.7 (and maybe 2.9) allowed both still frame and video capture, though the video wasn't that good.
I would pay 20-30 dollars for an app that captured video, even if the quality isn't that good. To me, the appeal of the internet tablets is that they are an all-in-one device (mostly). After installing KDE on my tablet I suddenly had to start thinking of the ways in which I don't use computers because they haven't been mobile. Being able to take even low quality videos on a more advanced device is much more appealing to me than taking them on my phone, going through the horribly designed menu system, and somehow sending it somewhere else.
I would love to see a way to live broadcast video just with the Nxxx. Sure the camera is not great quality, but it would be fine for this sort of web boradcast. Plenty of sites around now, some even allowing it to be done just from a Nokia phone - why not our devices!
Live broadcast video?
IIRC, someone, somewhere (MIT?), had an N800's video streaming to 2nd life. Don't know what software they used, or if it's OS2008 compatible, but they did.
