HTC Hero
The HTC Hero is a mobile phone manufactured by the HTC
Corporation. It is their third and most successful Android
powered phone (the predecessors being HTC Magic and HTC Dream).
The HTC Hero offers a highly customizable, silky smooth, user
interface courtesy of HTC Sense, providing an intuitive,
seamless experience. It has an 'at glance view' with widgets
(which can be personalised) placed directly on the home screen.
These include a music player, slick twitter app, calendar, and
more.
The phone offers significant improvements on earlier models.
For example, it has Outlook e-mail, calendar, and contacts
synchronization, a 5-megapixel camera, and, crucially for media buffs,
a 3.5mm headphone jack. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and 3G
support ensure that you are always connected.
Google Apps are represented by Gmail, Google Talk, Google
Maps, Google Latitude, and Youtube. Android Market
provides access to additional applications and fun games to download
and install on the phone. The web browser supports flash video. Other
preloaded software includes a PDF viewer, QuickOfice, and a geotagging
app called Footprints.
The phone supports the following file formats: MP3, AAC(AAC,
