Nokia have released their latest promotional video for the Nokia N8; it showcases the N8's video capture and HDMI-out play back functionality. Normally promotional videos don't justify a news story on their own, but in this case I think we can make an exception. The video shows a group playing foosball (table football) and performing some rather impressive skills and tricks - seeing is believing. View the video in the full story.

The Nokia N8 was launched at the end of April, as we noted then:

A key promise of the Nokia N8 is HD video consumption and creation. The camera shoots 720p video at 25 frames per second, which can then be played back on the device (down-sized) or via the HDMI out port (using the supplied cable). Nokia is also introducing the Web TV service, which delivers content-on-demand from local and global TV favourites (e.g. CNN, E! Entertainment, Paramount and National Geographic; with additional 'channels' via Ovi Store). This content can also be played back via the HDMI out functionality, which includes support for Dolby Digital Plus Surround Sound. Together this ensures both high quality video and audio play back. 
   

Nokia's N8 Foosball Fever

All the foosball tricks featured in the video have been broken out into their own videos with slow motion replays. There's also a behind the scenes video, which reveals how some parts of the video were put together.  All the tricks are apparently completely genuine, but we're willing to bet that there might have been more than one take!
