Google Phone By HTC – Early 2010?
Phandroid has joined the Engadget/TechCrunch discussion on the Google Phone. While previously they said there is no chance that Google will have their own branded phone, now they “hoping I have to admit I was wrong all along.”
Here is what one of their sources say about the Google Phone in response toTechCrunch:
- January is optimistic, “first part of the year” would be more accurate
- HTC is definitely making a Google Phone at Google’s request
- Google is assisting and providing input on hardware decisions, but after acknowledging less than perfect hardware decisions on the G1 (which they did dictate) it’s more of a collaborative conversation… with Google merely insisting on certain ideals.
- He can’t confirm/deny LG and Samsung Google Phones but thinks it unlikely at this point
- Could eventually alter the economics of the industry
Guess will have to wait and see…

Date-related Self-correction fixed the Motorola Droid camera autofocus
The autofocus problem was mentioned in Verizon’s 5-page treatise on known issues with the Droid, though the planned resolution was an official update by December 11. Dan Morrill, from Google’s Android team, has confirmed that there’s a date-related bug in the Droid’s camera software that leads to it having cycles of good and bad focus that depend on the date. Apparently, the cycles last 24.5 days, meaning that you’ll have good focus all the way to December 11, when the real fix is expected to drop.
