There is more evidence that Panasonic intends some Micro FourThirds cameras and lenses to be aimed at the "combo cam" market, even though its first M4/3 body does not have movie mode. According to The Imaging Resource (http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/DMCG1/DMCG1A.HTM),
Panasonic is promising at least three new lenses next year (2009) [including] ... a long-ratio 14-140mm f/4-5.6 OIS "HD" lens. - The "HD" indicates that this lens will support on-the-fly focusing during HD movie recording, on a camera that will also be announced sometime in 2009.

I have two of their newer compacts with HD video, and I'd say they have a long way to go on focusing issues while shooting video. I just hope they've hired some software people who know what they're doing.

^^^Take a look at that image, it's a display of some products they plan to launch next year. The lens in the middle is the 14-140 HD lens, which is supposed to be specially designed for better focusing with video, and the camera on the top is a future model with video (note the red letters HD on the side), with the 14-140 mounted.
