I just discovered this, in case some didn't know that.
I'm on samsung galaxy 3 android phone. Click on java uploader, select 'choose file' button and choose Camcorder option. You can then record video and save it, hit continue. The video will then upload.
Not bad... that's the closest to direct video recording off your phone you can get. I have to warn you though, uploading HD video takes forever. Thought I'd share my tip.
