But to make it work you would probably need to solder video out connector and also reprogram the chip to actually produce TV compatible video signal (and also disable internal LCD as both cannot be used at once).
Soldering TV-out cables to the motherboard! That's even better!

Wait, wait... How about we synchronise the video with a Nipkow disk and send it to a Baird Televisor? No soldering needed, see? And I bet we can do better than Baird's 240 lines, 12.5fps resolution. Actually, isn't that about the best the N800's video player can do anyway?
