HTC Hero first leaked when HTC’s rumored Android devices of 2009 showed up. However, first image was from a computer, with the unusual for HTC, in a pink building. Yesterday at CodeAndroid photos of HTC Hero appeared from which you can make some conclusions.
In particular, we see that the unit looks quite similar to the G1, but there are differences in the management system. Is it the lack of joystick, and, possibly, QWERTY-keyboard. If this is the case, then all management of the device will be done through the touch screen.
In addition, Hero has a 3.5 mm jack for headphones – first in HTC smartphoness running Android.
Unfortunately, unknown are other specifications and release date, or markets of the Android. However, it should be noted the emerging internal competition among Android phones – Hero is not so much different (at least outwardly) from the Magic, as the Magic – from G1.
