(HD) HTC Hero - First Look in 720p (HD)

First look at HTC's latest multitouch Android phone....

Doesn't look like the one in the leaked video. Why? It doesn't have a trackball and some other minor stuff which you will have to figure out yourself.

THE FOLLOWING IS BASED ON MY OPINION AFTER WATCHING THIS VIDEO. SOME OF THE INFO IS NOT CONFIRMED

As you can see, the clock looks like TouchFlo 3D and so do the weather icons...
The keyboard is almost the same as Topaz's (TouchDiamond2)
It also supports Java (I don't know if there was all along)
Comes with Footporints. Footprints was originally from the Iolite.
Teeter is also included (Teeter is originally from the Diamond, HD and Pro. It uses the G-Sensor to play.
Native support for Facebook and Twitter and flickr. The menus for contacts looks like the ones included in Topaz and Rhodium (TouchPro2).
The web browser is probably the only app that uses its multitouch features. It also supports Flash (but I'm not sure if its the latest.)
The world clock is also similar to the Topaz and Rhodium.
As you can see in the calender, the launch for the Hero is in fact on June 24th...

my weather keeps changing do you know how to fix that

[sttuder]

hey my weather keeps changing when its dark it says it sunny do u knw hw to fix tht

[nick83366650]

haha very true i didn't think of that one, that is a little different though as i believe they actually did invent that one.

[gallya]

yeah they could probably patent the magic mouse touch thing. kinda stupid how they try to patent something that has potential so no one else can enjoy it, but people can get around that.

[nick83366650]

That would make sense like HTC call it "pinch to zoom" not multi touch and in fact it isn't real multi touch at all when you put you fingers on the screen in recognizes them as two separate contacts one after the other. finger works invented multi-touch and they were bought by apple but patenting touch screens is like the people that have patented you genes (yes you have to pay to look at your own genes) it stupid next they will patent the mouse lol

[gallya]

@nick83366650 they got the patent. But i found out as long as the touch screen is out of the patent area like, different, than the company can keep it. That means that palm pre must not have as many features as the iphone in touch technology or maybe it's even better but it can't be exactly the same

[nick83366650]

apple try to patent everything most of which they didn't invent or pioneer but its still worth a try with the kick backs you get from holding patents in telecommunications these days.
