Comment #1 by srowen:
It sounds like the device simply does not support video capture. The
call to createPlayer() apparently fails for
capture://video and capture://image. I could not find whether the Palm
Centro fully supports JSR-135 or JSR-
234 (the multimedia APIs). Here's a thread that suggests this didn't
work as of late 2006:

If you know
of other J2ME apps that successfully use video capture then maybe there
is indeed some nonstandard way to
access this on the Palm Centro; I am not sure what it could be, so not
sure if this is something we can do
anything about at this point unfortunately.
