Rumor: Next-gen iPhone Features Forward-Facing Camera

This photo was first posted on iSpazio, an Italian iPhone fan site. The photo features a picture of an iPhone with a black bezel, which holds true to previous rumors on the Internet.
There also appears to be a green LED light, just like the one on Macs when the iSight camera is in use. Apple filed for a patent of a forward-facing camera back on April 16. Does this mean that the next iPhone will feature a forward-facing camera that will allow video calling? If you also look at the photo closely, the green light is slightly off a bit. This can add authenticity to this, since it's not perfectly in the middle. On Macs, the light is not perfectly in the center either. Maybe we can finally have mobile iChat? But with AT&T's network, who knows if all this video conferencing is even plausible.
The photo also shows the new Voice Memos app in 3.0 being put to use. What is stated above the phone in the photo? "..ny" is unclear, but "ev.." is definitely "everyone." This photo seems to be an unpublished page from Apple.com that could be published once the new iPhone is announced.
Of course, the green light could just be an indicator light to let you know you're recording audio. But that's no fun to talk about.
Whatever it is, we won't know for sure until at least Monday. Stay tuned.
