The camera's ability to auto-focus, which I'd railed in our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mobilecrunch.com\/2009\/11\/05\/smartphone-showdown-iphone-3gs-vs-moto-droid-round-2\/\">review of the product<\/a>, seemed to drastically improve overnight. And it did!\n\nMost assumed that Verizon and Motorola had managed to sneak out some sort of stealth over-the-air update, patching the camera's settings on the fly. A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.techmeme.com\/091117\/p35#a091117p35\">number of sites reported as much<\/a>. Some even took offense to this idea, declaring that such things shouldn't be allowed without their explicit permission. According to the folks that should know best, there was no over-the-air update at all; the camera fixed itself, and in 24.5 days, it'll break all over again.\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/OuQV6W3qdzpwJKKJEgKXZQkkHHc\/0\/da\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/OuQV6W3qdzpwJKKJEgKXZQkkHHc\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br\/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/OuQV6W3qdzpwJKKJEgKXZQkkHHc\/1\/da\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/OuQV6W3qdzpwJKKJEgKXZQkkHHc\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=DkuJWKCyGx8:5uahwpCfkhs:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?i=DkuJWKCyGx8:5uahwpCfkhs:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=DkuJWKCyGx8:5uahwpCfkhs:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?i=DkuJWKCyGx8:5uahwpCfkhs:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=DkuJWKCyGx8:5uahwpCfkhs:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a weird one for you: A few hours ago, Motorola DROID users began reporting that the cameras on their handsets were suddenly.. better.
