Next-gen iPhone to get a 5 megapixel camera?

Yeah, howzabout a 5 MP unit with flash on the front and the old 3 MP on the back for video chat...on the iPod Touch so we can Skype on MiFi instead of being stuck with AT&T.

Video Chat please!!!

So a 2010 iPhone will have a camera with the same resolution as a 2007 Nokia, but without the Zeiss lens or the Xenon flash?

Like others have commented, I too decided to hold on to my iPhone 3G and wait for the 2010 version, which may have as much as 64 GB of memory, from other posts that I've read, if they prove to be correct (even 32 GB in the 3GS is pretty good). I have 16 GB in my 3G and I'm now down to only 3.5 GB left. I hope June/July 2010 comes soon.

As far as the camera is concerned on the 3G/3GS, I was planning on using the iPhone's built-in camera to take pictures for selling stuff on eBay, but I have shaky hands, and w/o image stabilization, I can't take great pictures (not to mention the low light issue). There are some apps in the App Store that I looked at that are supposed to compensate for camera shake, but none of them looked good. And so I decided to spend $180.00 (at the time) for a incredibly small but fantastic point-and-shoot Canon SD780IS, and so that will produce much better pictures for me than even a 5 MP camera on an iPhone could ever produce. True, it is one more thing to carry around, especially if you like taking pictures, but this Canon camera is so small you could fit it into a shirt pocket (size-wise, it's the size of a credit card, albeit with a little more heft).

But it would be nice to get a better camera in the 2010 iPhone come June/July next year. Rather than the upgrade from 3.2 MP to 5.0 MP, I'd rather they add built-in image stabilization to the iPhone.

That's just my 2 cents. :)

A higher pixel in a phone really does not mean anything in and of itself so stop drooling. Why is it that Apple always seems to fall behind or lag in features?

Hell, I would rather have the hearing slit much larger like the HTCs. Also, how about getting a little email icon at the top of the screen without having to unlock the phone just to check for emails? Or maybe a better alert than a little tiny ping noise?

I was a user that was snatched up by the 3GS from my old WinMo phone, and have not been disappointed one bit. I'll be excited for 2011 edition but however they improve with the 4G can only be good for all of us. :-)

If the lens isn't improved or enlarged, who cares? More pixels does not mean better pictures.

I skipped the 3GS and held on to my 3G. I hope to be rewarded richly with nifty features and improvements like this.
