not with the new 3.0. i think you still have to jailbreak to get that to happen.

Either jailbreak a 3G or buy the new one . Also the video on the jailbroken 3G is NOT that good... I don't even use it bc it's not good quality

I've seen video on a JB phone and it is garbage. Although I hesitate to say this for fear of being called a fanboy, but I can actually agree with Apple on holding out on video.

They will most likely use H.264 to compress the video which uses a lot of CPU power and just the recording itself is it a lot more CPU intensive vs a still shot.
