Update: Macrumors features two images of cases that are supposed to be designed for the upcoming iPod Touch and iPod Nano, and suggest that the next generation of said devices will indeed include a camera.

Putting a camera in the iPod touch, which uses the same operating system as the iPhone, is a logical next step for Apple. But the order size is supposedly so large that some people in Taiwan are speculating that Apple may be planning to put cameras in the lower end of the iPod line, too. “Everything but the Shuffle may have a camera in it soon,” says our source...

Saw this on Engadget - In-t3hr-ehst-ing

I'm not gonna buy it even if it does have a camera, because I'll probably get an iPhone eventually.

i swear this was proven that the hole in those cases are just for belts? or something like that?

oh well... i hope it does have a camera...

[Robinson777]

then its about time for me to finally upgrade

[Kasperr]

Yeah, its about time for me to. And its really great if it really is true, because then theres one more reason to upgrade. Just hope its not gonna be crappy, if they are gonna implent it.

If this really does, it will be worth the wait! I've been holding off for a couple months but I may just get an iPhone :/

Saw that too. That was another rumor quite a while back.

I think this would be the most likely reason for the hole's in the case. No case provider would create the holes in the case's before they actually knew about it, Which I doubt Apple would provide them information with. Also, It would explain the 2 bottom holes on the case's also.

I however do think it will come to be a reality. All of those Camera order's would highly explain it, Along with the iPhone 3GS now bringing itself a new camera as a high upgrade.

I don't want this to happen, But it most likely will.

I wonder if the video recording will be enabled also. If so I will consider picking this up to tide me over till the next gen iPhone comes out.
