    It would be surprising to have a camera without video, and video implies a microphone. VoIP anyone?

    And damn, just as I've apparently convinced myself to get the Touch, rumors of next one come. Time to stuff that money back into the bank.

    It's also going to have pictures of Jobs' genitals. Just a little FYI to help with your buying decision.

    @ripfire: What, you mean because then the Droid won't work after December 21, 2012?

    I feel pretty safe saying that no phone you buy today will work after that date. ;-)

    So if they don't fix it with the December 11th update, let's just hope your 5MP camera-phone isn't what you plan on documenting the Christmas and new year festivities with. Hanukkah, you're safe.

    That's almost as awesome as the G1 bug, wherin typing 'reboot' in a text message would do exactly that!

    Then I'll cheer myself up with a Droid.

    @Tyrunn: I was only pointing out that random bugs are sometimes very useful.

    Even the iPhone was only jailbroken originally because of the way it didn't render pictures (TIFF? I don't remember)

    Sooo... What is the significance of a 49 day cycle (if it is a rounding issue, you would expect the change to be halfway through the cycle)? 49 days is roughly 4.23B ms. That doesn't seem significant. On the other hand, if we go binary, 2^32 is about 4.29B -- it does seem implausible to have a value stored in an unsigned 32 bit word. Of course that would be a cycle of 49 days, 17 hours, 2 minutes and 47.3 seconds.

    Any takers?

    That's funny. My wife has a similar bug: she works great for about 3 weeks or so, but the fourth week, oh man - watch out!

    To a non-programmer like me, this sounds positively silly. Then again, so does measuring the date by how many seconds have passed since January 1st 1970. So, I'm just gonna leave it to the programmers on this one and be glad a fix got issued.

    Also. I am positively appalled that no one has made a werecamera joke yet.

    @tande04: i don't think they knew that there was an error in the drive, just that the cameras fix themselves. Now that there are more details out, they can provide their readers with a post that actually sheds some light on the problem.
