Technology news-site DigiTimes recently reported that OmniVision, a digital imaging company, just landed a contract with Apple to provide them with both 3.2 and 5 megapixel cameras. Current speculation is that the 3.2 megapixel camera is for the next generation iPhone, while the 5 megapixel camera is for a completely separate product, perhaps an upgraded iSight (the current iSight is currently 1.3 megapixels.)

“OmniVision has received 3.2-megapixel CMOS image sensor (CIS) orders for Apple’s next-generation iPhone, according to market sources. The company is also said to have secured 5-megapixel CIS orders for another Apple product expected to be launched later in the year.”

To put this into perspective, the current iPhones (3G and original) both sport a 2 megapixel camera.
