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.
