I recently returned from a trip to China. CO to HKG RT. But in-country, I flew 5 legs on four different Chinese carriers:
DragonAir
Cathay Pacific
Air China
China Eastern

One of them (think it was CA 1501 PEK-SHA) had a forward viewing TV camera on the nose wheel landing gear strut. As the plane turned, we saw where the nose wheel was headed, not where the aircraft body was pointed. Immediately after take off - establish a positive rate of climb - the view then disappeared as the gear retracted. While taxiing and taking off, we had a fine view of the tarmac and the planes around us. Cool to see the Pilot's view, the accelleration as the runway stripes clock by quicker and quicker. ^ Neat on landing, too. This showed on all the in-cabin TV sets.

Would you like CO to do this? I thought it was great! And little cameras are very inexpensive now.
