Default HTC Hero Will Receive Android 20 Eclair Update
Posted on Thursday, Oct 29, 2009 by Casey Chan


Thanks to Twitter, we now know that HTC has plans to update the HTC Hero to Android 2.0 'Eclair'. After seeing all the goodies that Android 2.0 will deliver and Android users' positive response to them, HTC needed to jump on board and address the Hero's situation with Android 2.0. The one sticking point that's keeping it from happening right now, seems to be that HTC Sense needs to get updated and optimized for Android 2.0, which makes sense since the beautiful UI is more than just a tasteful theme or skin.

It's odd that HTC didn't address the Magic or Dream's situation with Android 2.0, only choosing to discuss the Hero. Hopefully we'll hear more information regarding the other devices soon. In any case, we expect HTC to fix whatever issues Sense has with Android 2.0 and have the HTC Hero ready for Android 2.0 as quickly as possible. Then it'll be up to Sprint to deliver the update to us. Cross our fingers?

This is huge for us Sprint Hero holders. This will give us more capabilities than already present. On top of that you will have the ability to download Google Maps Navigation (Beta), which looks tight as.... hmmm. Anyways, thought this was a step in the right direction and good news, so post your feedback and let us know what you're thinking.
