Apple ordered a good number of photocameras

According to an Asian source, Apple would have ordered a huge number of photocameras, enough to make it so that every iPod, except the Shuffle, could have one on their next update. According to this rumor, Apple ordered photocamera lenses similar to those used on cellphones, but in too big a number to consider their usage only on iPhones.

This announcement actually backs up the rumors about the iPod Nano and iPod Touch updates with photocameras and the new rumor arrives just when the first images of the possible iPod Nano 5 and iPod Touch 3 cover images start to be found around the net, and both of them show a hole on the back part of the cover that could justify a photocamera. None of this covers was claimed to be for the iPod Classic, which could mean no modifications if it will still be on the list, which is already unlikely.

Of course, some sources are less than reliable, but the one seen for iPod Nano would back up the rumors about its new size. It also seems to match with the rumor of a job offer that Apple published a while ago; before the company changed it, the job offer advertisement searched engineers that could develop photocameras for iPhone and iPod.
