Next-gen iPods getting cameras?

Author: Jeff

6 Jul

If a recent camera order made by Apple is anything to go by, the next generation of iPod touches and iPod Nanos may very well be getting their own digital camera a la the iPhone.

As the rumor goes, Apple placed an order for a “massive number of camera modules of the type that they include in the iPhone”. Furthermore, they are cheap modules, around $10, which means they are almost exactly like the iPhone’s.

If/when Apple adds these cameras to their iPod lineup, what will happen to the low end digital camera market? Will they really cause that big of an upset? Only time will tell.
