Keep in mind that Android is a geek thing, it was never meant for marketing. It's build by geek for geeks :) As opposed to iphone which was build from day one with marketing in sight. So video feed from the device was mandatory.
The Android team seems more composed of huge engineers-techno-nerds who works on design patterns, not selling them :) I would love to see Marisa Mayer trying to convince developpers to come to the android framework by demoing the Android Market as it is :) That would be Rad :) "Nope can't do that, nope that either, nope, nope, ah wait maybe.....nope, not possible : ) So is here tree nerdy solutions : - Frame grab and save as low quality jpg(to avoid lag) to sdcard then transfert those files to the pc and use virtualdub to compile it as a video, you don't have live, but you have video :) - Launch your app in an emulator on a pc, then use camstasia or other desktop to video software, it's both live and video. - If emulator is not an option, find an old-style sheet-projector, or a video camera closed-up on your device and send the feed to your big screen. You should probably prepare a stand with a way to hold the device still so that it won't move while being filmed which would be very unpleasant for viewers. Also think of a way to block lighting reflection which could spoil the fun.
