The smartphone market has turned out very competitive this June. While Palm and Apple are busy shipping their Pre and IPhone 3G S respectively, HTC made a surprising announcement last week. Meet "Hero", the third Android based handset from the HTC corporation. Though Hero is an Android based phone, the UI is very different from the previous Android based phones from HTC. The UI looks like an upgraded version of the TouchFlo 3D with a new HTC Sense widget-based interface. While personilazation has been heavily revamped, synchronizing and combining local data with social networking sites seems to be the central focus for this device and possibly for future devices form HTC. Check out this video for more info on the OS tweaks.
The Hero checks in with a Qualcomm® MSM7200A™ 528 MHz Processor, 3.2-inch screen with 320x480 resolution, 3.5 mm audio jack, 5.0 mpx camera with auto focus, Digital Compass, Quad-band GSM, 900/2100MHz HSPA, Trackball, GPS, 802.11b/g WiFi and so on. The most exciting new feature announced is the support for Adobe Flash. That's right, HTC Hero is the first Android based smartphone to support Adobe Flash out of the box. That's not all, Hero is also the first phone to get a Teflon coating to make sure the phone is always clean and shining without finger prints. With all the new features and the decent spec sheet, HTC seems to have a real hero here. The only drawback here is the under-powered Qualcomm® processor. Otherwise, this phone could have been a serious threat to both Apple and Palm. Hit on the read link for the official page on HTC.com.
