The rumors are flying fast and furious that the popular iPod Touch — essentially, the phoneless version of the iPhone — may be getting a camera upgrade.

According to the Website TechCrunch, Apple has placed a massive order in Asia for camera modules of the type that would fit the Touch.

Other circumstantial evidence is starting to crop up, too, such as new Touch cases that have a camera lens-sized hole in the back, and other rumors. Keep in mind that this is all speculation, and based on non-direct evidence. The amount of information coming out, however, lends weight to such speculation.

The Touch coming with a camera would be great news, and bring it even closer to the functionality of the iPhone. We’ll update you when we have more.
