Promais is a leading Portuguese online store and Authorized Apple reseller that has seemingly jumped the gun by offering “JIVO” cases for Apple’s next-gen “iPod nano 5G” and “iPod touch 3G.”
With images. Whoops!
If these cases are genuine, it seems quite apparent that Apple’s next-gen iPod nano and iPod touch models will both feature built-in cameras.

Hope Apple doesn’t call it iPod touch 3g. People might think it’s a phone.
Is the internal architecture of the Touch so different that the camera would be in a different place? Also the camera on the nano seems to be in a place that would be very easy to obscure when holding the thing.
Those are NOT photos. They are illustrator made artworks. I can’t believe MDN can’t see the difference. Fools.
Unless you hold it sideways

@Richie
Therefore it must be a lie? No one uses Illustrator in advertising?
@Richie
The headline says IMAGES of iPod nano etc leaked not PHOTOS. These ARE images even if they are illustrator renderings.
Richie,
Nowhere did MDN write “photos,” you fscking moron.
@M.N.X.T.4.1
The iPhone has a speaker there so yes the internal architecture is different.
Steve to country of Portugal…your license has been revoked…you’ve been erased…no more Apple products…ever…permanent bag of hurt coming your way…lifetime ball and chain.
This looks to be the most legit thing so far. The placement of the nano camera is truly odd, though.
looks like the apple logo is the flash !
Why, oh, WHY does the nano need a camera? I’m surprised that Apple would add such a blatantly “me-too” “feature. Dumb.
The placement of the camera on the nano looks exactly right to me. If you hold it horizontally, so that the screen is on the left and the button under your thumb, the camera would be in the upper right.
I don’t see a Mac Tablet size there. Does this confirm the early 2010 launch then?
A friend asked me how the video on the iPhone was last night and I said it was really stupid that apple put the camera hole on the side because when you are shooting video and rotating the camera, it will pan faster in one direction that the other because clockwise the camera moves faster as it is on the inside axis and has a shorter distance to travel over a fixed time. Counterclockwise, it has a much larger arc to travel as it is on the outside so you get a slower pan over the same fixed time. The produces much funkiness when you are walking with the camera and shooting if you don’t keep super steady.
The lens in the middle would fix the problem. very important for video. a big design flaw.
@NeoVoyager actually that looks like a perfect spot … turn the iPod 90 Degrees it’s like a point and shoot. Use the select button to take the pic.
Looks to me like the nano will take VIDEO too. I suspect that the hole next to the camera lens is a built-in microphone.
What do others think?
What is the second, smaller “hole” next to the lense (on both devices)? Flash? Autofocus beam?…
@dd
its a PHONE. If that matters to you, go buy a video camera.
dd:
What you said makes almost no sense at all, even with all the detailed explaining behind it.
When you shoot video from the iPhone, you hold the device sideways. When you pan with it, you don’t rotate the device around its own axis (that would be silly, since you’d be looking at the screen at an increasingly odd angle, rather than straight at it). Instead, you pan by rotating your body, or at least swinging your arm(s), together with the phone, so that you can continue to look straight at it. The axis of rotation is so far away from the iPhone, the actual lens is probably barely a fraction of a degree off to the side from the radial between the centre of the axis of rotation and the subject being shot. In other words, that pan shot still looks like a pan, or at worst, a pan plus a sideways tracking, rather than pan/tracking/dolly in two axes.
It’s just a non-issue, and certainly not a design flaw.
Guessing what the next generation iPod will look like is my favorite sport and brain gymnastic. I’m in shape now for guessing about the Apple Tablet !!!!!!
Since when is the iPod touch’s headphone jack on the top?
@ R2, no that’s where the sleep/wake button is. Many iPod Touch cases have a little indent there.
