HTC Hero Shipping with Flash
HTC has been on a mission to become one of the top manufacturers of smart phones. They have been making quality devices for quite some time for a variety of wireless carriers. These phones include the Touch, Touch Pro, Magic, Dream (aka T-Mobile G1), and now its newest and most anticipated headset so far the Hero. This will the first phone running the Android OS to ship with flash. A revolutionary Teflon coated casing has reviewers making comparisons to the iPhone and describing the Apple powerhouse as feeling cheap in comparison. Rumors have the Hero coming to Sprint later this year. A phone like this will certainly give smart phone and touchscreen enthusiasts something to look at the carrier for. Don’t be surprised if Verizon doesn’t make some sort of move for this or a similar device, like it has been doing for the iPhone and Palm Pre.
