Next Generation iPhone to Use 5-Megapixel Camera?

Chosun reports (via AppleInsider) that Apple's next generation iPhone will use a 5-megapixel camera provided by LG Innotek.
The electronics component maker began producing the sophisticated cameras at its plant in Gumi this month and will mass produce them starting in the second half of this year.
The current iPhone 3GS offers only a 3-megapixel camera at this time. There had been earlier rumors in 2009 also placing a 5-megapixel camera in the next iPhone, but those rumors pinpointed a different supplier.Apple is expected to unveil the next iPhone at WWDC in June.

I'm more curious to know what the front facing camera has.
Probably somewhere between 1-3, as a guess.

Hmm, was hoping for 8 megapixels.
That would only produce pictures filled with Noise. The lens and sensor quality is not good enough to take good pictures at that size.

Hmm, was hoping for 8 megapixels.
Utterly useless—detrimental, even—in a phone camera.8 Megapixels does not equal quality.
