iPod cases suggest camera on Touch, Nano

[Guest Mohammed]

It's been widely rumored that the next version of the iPod Touch and iPod Nano to be released by Apple will have cameras inside. Now, a series of photos from Chinese iPod case manufacturers suggest that it's more than just speculation.

The Cult of Mac blog has obtained a stack of photos of what it describes as "the worst-kept secret in China." The images show multiple case designs for an iPod Touch and an iPod Nano with notches out of the material, which suggest a camera, much like the way cases for the iPhone accommodate that device's shooter.

For the iPod Touch cases, the camera slot is centered--unlike the iPhone's--while the Nano case camera slot is situated toward the bottom on the left. The Nano also appears to have a wide-screen display.

Most Apple observers anticipate the company will hold its annual iPod and music event in September, where in addition to a camera, the iPod Touch is expected to be updated with a microphone and digital compass as well.

Hope so, I've had my iPod classic for about two years now, dropped it so many times the hard drive doesn't spin right anymore. I also heard that the new touch's will be up to 64gb and offer built in FM transmission.

[Guest iNvidious]

This just benefits those who are not on the AT&T network making the iPods as close to an iPhone as possible. I say screw those who don't have iPhones if you want one get one.
