Concern - Perhaps the CPU isn't strong enough?

Well how about just supporting the built-in camera in ANY application!
I mean seriously, it's a major feature of the device! What good is it?

Makes you wonder what Finnish equivalent of a slackjawed yokel wrote up the N800's specs...

Seriously though... would anyone else use their webcam for direct YouTube or uStream capture?

I really want this feature, but it's NOT a problem with taking resources from the CPU. I mean, imagine how much memory it must take to make a live video conference. That's two ways. Ustream or YouTube is a one way deal. It has to be possible!

I don't think I would use the cam for blogging/podcasting, but I would use it for sure if it would evere been supported by skype or any N800 to pc video call..

Currently, the Flash player supports the microphone but not the camera. If it can recognize the camera, users can live stream through ustream.tv or upload live video blogs to YouTube directly from the N800.
AntiRelusionist has this need and so do I. Does anyone else? If there is a demand, I'll submit a feature request to maemo.org and write it up in my blog.
