Nest Gen iPhone to Finally Have Flash?!

Apple has moved to obtain large quantities of LED camera flash components, according to an AppleInsider report.

The site has learned that Apple is seeking allotments of LED camera flash components in the tens of millions for delivery during the 2010 calendar year. Due to their sales volume the iPhones and maybe even the iPod touch are the most likely recipients.

Their same sources believe that the Philips' Lumileds Lighting sector may have already secured the win for this contract.

Its thought that Apple will use the Philips LUXEON LED camera flash technology which combines the brightness of regular lighting with the long life and tiny size of LEDs. This technology is commonly used with 5+ megapixel cameras and has successfully shipped over 200 million units worldwide.

The LEDs could also be used to provide light for video recording and flashlight applications.
