HTC Hero, the latest Andriod-powered smartphone coming from the Taiwanese manufacturer after the Dream and the Magic, has already been slated for a release with various carriers in Europe and the US with a rumored release date just in time for X-mas. What we didn’t know for sure was what kind of Android OS is in there, but HTC shredded the dust and announced that the Hero is going to run Android 2.0 Eclair.
Although the exact date is not yet known, their Twitter page says “The rumors are true! Hero will be getting an Eclair update. We ask for your patience as we update Sense for the fancy new Android OS.”
A lot of carriers in Europe and the US have announced that the HTC Hero will be soon available probably with a release date just in time for X-mas. The phone features multitouch capability and Adobe Flash. Specs wise there’s a 3.2 inch 320×480 pixels display, a 5 megapixel camera, a 3.5mm headphone jack,built-in GPS, 3G connectivity and an integrated Accelerometer and a Digital compass.
We wonder if Verizon is going to get their hands on it! Probably so!
