More Evidence of Cameras in Next Gen iPod Touch and Nano?
Two new images of cases for the upcoming iPod Touch and iPod Nano have begun circulating. The new cases suggest that the next generation Touch and Nano will indeed include a camera.
The first image from Uxsight is listed as a "New iPod Touch 3G" with "hold for a camera in the back" and comes with the following image:
The second case design was posted on DealExtreme and shows an "iPod Nano 5" case with another hole in the back that is presumably again for the camera:
The reliability of these early case designs has been mixed in the past. While they have been accurate with the iPhone 3G design, they were also responsible for many of the iPhone Nano claims which never came true.
Still, the design of the iPod Nano's camera location is consistent with sketches provided by iLounge in May. iLounge also reported that the iPod Nano would be getting a camera with its next revision.

Can someone told me how should I use an iPod with a camera less than 3.2M (for sure) while I have a Nokia N85 with 5M pixels, and not counting there are millions of people who are using the N73. I still think "Battery Life" will be the killer apps for 7G iPod as they did it to the Macbook lines:eek:

megapixels aren't everything, and for many people a mobile phone camera won't replace a standard camera because no matter how many pixels the phone has, it won't match the qualityI'm wondering why the cases have a longer hole for the camera. flash? mirror?

I just want to know why the Nano's camera is located in such a moronic location.

Because you hold the nano in landscape when taking the photo.

Two additional iPod touch cases depicting the same camera location:

On one hand, I think it's a bit odd that the iPod touch has the camera in the middle, as the back of the touch already looks strange enough... but I suppose the lock button and WiFi antenna wouldn't allow it to be placed anywhere else. As for the iPod nano, that's a really stupid idea. WHY would it be placed there? I've heard people mention it's because of landscape mode, but who holds their nano that way when they use it in landscape? I really hope the case in that picture is upside down :o
I think the idea of a camera in the nano is a bit pointless, but I guess Apple doesn't want the money the poured into the iPhone camera to be a waste.
