As of today (Nov. 17) our Droid's cameras autofocus correctly.
There was an issue in some code dealing with the timestamp and the autofocus, that self-corrects itself every 24 days. So in 24 days from Nov. 17, our cameras will go back to the bad autofocusing, but there's a catch. In 24 days from now, it will be Dec. 11, and... Motorola Droid OTA Update Coming December 11th? | Android Phone Fans

Note to Droid owners: the surprise focus fix is a date-related camera bug self-correcting as of the 17th, not a silent update.
