AFAIK there is no easy way to capture the screen as video in the standard API (java OR native)
However some newer devices do support a "video out" function: http://androidandme.com/2010/07/news/samsung-galaxy-s-does-video-out-via-3-5-mm-headset-jack/ http://androidandme.com/2010/04/news/droid-incredible-does-tv-out-video/ The device manufacturer would be able to do this as they (obviously) have full control over the hardware, and it's possible it would make it into the Android API at some point, but for now I think it's handy- cam city.
