Possible to use iPhone's camera?

Is it possible to use the iPhone's camera in a Cocos2d game? I've searched around and it seems that you can only use the camera to take pictures in the image picker control. I want to either just take a photo and use it as a texture or preferably not take a picture but use the camera's live feed and show it as a texture. It's no big problem on a PC using DirectX, but seems that Apple has made this impossible.

Any ideas?

Ive read that this is coming very soon, probably in OS 3.1.

I wonder if this will also work in still pictures mode, not only video. There are quite a few apps that would need custome still camera control.

I hope it will work on iPhone 3G aswell and not only the 3GS. I only need to take picture or display the live feed. I don't need to be able to record video.
