Hardware encoding video on Android phone

I'm looking for some information about encoding video on an Android phone using hardware acceleration. I know some phones (if anyone has a list?) support encoding for the camera, and was hoping I could access the chip to encode a live feed supplied through say wifi, usb. Also, I'm interested in the latency any such chip would provide.

EDIT: Apparently Android uses PacketVideo, however not much documentation to be found for encoding.

EDIT: Android documentation shows a video-encoder: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaRecorder.VideoEncoder.html. However it does not say anything about hardware acceleration.

MediaCodec should fit your needs. Documentation says nothing about hardware acceleration, but according to logs and benchmarks, it relies on OpenMAX library.
