If you were on vacation or just didn’t get around to reading much this week here is our week in review. We heard rumors this week that Apple had purchased a huge order of cameras for its new iPod models. The rumor was supported by shots of <a href="http://www.slashgear.com/apple-massive-ipod-camera-order-tipped-new-5g-nano-case-emerges-0648581/">new cases for the 5G iPod nano</a> that surfaced with a cut out for a camera lens. Intel is also rumored to have <a href="http://www.slashgear.com/intel-punish-samsung-lenovo-with-pricey-atom-over-screen-transgressions-0648588/">penalized Lenovo and Samsung</a> over cramming the popular Intel Atom processor inside a netbook with screens over the size limit that the parts are supposed to be used in.
